From Sunday Tribune January 11th, Seun Kuti was quoted as saying...
“I will only urge Nigerians, especially her youths, to come out enmasse to elect the ruler of their choice so that Nigeria’s democracy will continue to grow. As for me though, I will never vote for Buhari because of what he did to my father. It is a personal grouse. Buhari denied me the chance of seeing my father in the early stage of my life. He arrested and detained Fela in Kirikiri for the same number of years I was growing up without a father, and even did not allow his family members to see him on a daily basis. He eventually jailed my father and I will always remember that. He jailed my innocent father on currency trafficking, but he is claiming to be a saint now. Truth is that I have no reason to give my vote to any of the two contestants, but more especially Buhari because of the eternal emotional damage he caused the Kuti family, especially me"

As #FailBuhari 14th draws near. If you're voting remember these facts:
1) In 2 years Buhari spent in power he didn't build a single university
2) Buhari Sacked more than 50,000 Civil servants and cut
allowance of lecturers in 1984
leading to brain drain.
3) Buhari re- introduced payment of school fees in all schools. He also banned school feeding program.
4) Buhari's failed economic policy caused alot of hardship to Nigerians. Many cried while queueing for their portions of scarce commodities like rice,sugar, salt, milk and toiletries
5) Buhari critised Federal Govt for being harsh on bokoharam members
6) Under Buhari's watch,Islamic terror group called Maitasine slaughter more than 5,000 Nigerians with mere Bow and Arrow yet they say the Old man can defeat his Bokoboys
7) Buhari Increased Nigeria externel debt by $3billion in just 1 years. Drove up Inflation by 41% , one of the worst in the history of Nigeria
8) Buhari used gun to attempt to
force down prices of goods in
1984. What a novice in
Economics.
9) Buhari is an Islamist who want sharia to be enforced all over Nigeria
10) He is also a jihadist
11) Buhari promised blood bath if he does not win elections
12) Buhari ask his supporters to Kill anybody that tries to rig 2011 election as a result led to the killing of many youth corpers.
chioo! this guy has finished GEJ ooo.
#GodblessNigeria
Seun abeg go and sit down if u dnt vote 4 buhari pipul beta dan ur sori ass will vote 4 him.....
Biko.. what has happened has happened. Y'all should chill. All these rants n bants won't bring fela back. He was a good man n lived his life. Let him rest in peace biko!
Stupid reporters. Smh.
At the rate of insecurity in this nation of ours, (not to mention economy, as lost lives are irrecoverable) any reason for wanting to unseat jona can always be filtered to a valid take.
If he had kept mute it would have been the best for him and the entire family.
Ur opinion doesn't matter anyway. Ubanagum
Brown envelope in action
Vote for ruler or leader? Na wa o.Sha all of them act like rulers
My point exactly...It's not like Buhari is the perfect man! Nigeria just can't afford another 4yrs with jonathan...NO! All jonathan did/doing will only favor the big wigs and big companies! Not the regular Nigerians...
He spoke about fighting corruption,What corruption? sheybi na 'em em' dey do the corruption? Subsidy,Boko haram,Currency devaluation...3 MAJOR SET BACK FOR NIGERIA DURING JONATHAN'S REGIME! Need i say more? VOTE WISELY!
i thing this guy has said it all
the reporter want to use seun to get to the Top. it is unfair for a friend to use u.
AYA LOTO
Know it now that Buhari is forever out of point.
Ok
Ok
feb 14 should just come n go abeg

whatever...ur personal wahala, i will vote for Buhari shikena!
Wow another lie fall flat on PDP apologists
good to clarify yourself, i feel your pain about your father
#Commenting Thru Glo 4G LTE
bihari..... will make us proud I have that feeling
Linad this a personal advice, leave Jona alone. If Buhari gets into power don't ever think you will have d free to speak ur mind like your doing now....You just enjoy carrying negative news about Jona. Not fair.
Anyway no one would blame seun for his decision.. so painful remembering wat one did to ur father especially when he is no more
Why can't people say they views without insults?
All this noise and unnecessary publicity. We have heard.
The report did not state that he said people should not vote for Buhari, rather people should vote for leader of their choice to strengthen our democracy....So where is the issue coming from?
well said
Don't believe everything u read. Even on linda ikeji common sense. Basically what this is about.
well said
Seun is known to be blunt and straightforward, if he said it he wont deny it
Sista Nina Nina, with this line of your thot process, I think u should remove Excellent from your name cos common sence should tell U that there's no way any single person (president of not) can Force his WILL on the people of Nigeria in a Democratic Setting (Pls go read functions of senate and house of Reps). It's all propaganda and I'll advice U and others to stop this if u mean well for this country. It's ok to have your Prefrence and you will do better to SELL him and his attributes than make statements that are false n impracticable
His father broke the law and he was punished....and so what?
"We Will continue To Fight To Spread Sharia Across And In All The States In Nigeria - Gen Maj Muhammadu Buhari. [ 2001 rally speech].
''I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. "God-willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the sharia in the country. Muslims should vote at the next Presidential election only for someone who will defend their faith''
all these drama cos of election

The part i liked most about his comment was..... the fact that buhari look good is a shame to Jonathan .very sad truth.
They shall all be put to shame!!!! Sai Buhari
FeBuahari 2015
Beta for u cos ur generation would hv suffered de wrath of innocent souls wasted by buhari's boys Boko. #oneandonlynwa@gmail.com#
As a student of journalism, I know that it is pertinent to answer question as close to the question as possible! Do not divert, because news men will just pick the words they want and turn everything you said on its head! Tribune just wanted to show the side of Buharu=I and didn't bother with that of GEJ because it is sympathetic to him!
Please who is Seun Kuti? what impact has he had to society in General? why should we read the rubbish he just wrote? my fellow Nigerians this is another plot by an igbo smoking musician to spoil the Good name of GEJ. ignore please!!!!!!!!!
I won't vote Buhari either....Don't want a man dat will b sending youths to kirikiri for opposing him. wicked man!!!!
Linda post my comment na!!!!

Still better than Jonathan who takes us for a fool, sayin he will fight corruption with technology, also sayin he will provide 2 million jobs if re elected....rubish, what has he been doin with his first term?, unemployment rate in the country is at its worst low under Johnathan. Nigerians are not fools! + when it comes to security of the nation , Johnathan regime is the most insecure
Really na im sabi d wan wey im talk. Linda take note!
Who cares...
What ever he say is absolutely immaterial to me and as far as I am concerned he is not voice or represent anybody.
Let him keep his insignificant statement to himsef.
Seun, don't mind the reporter, he is PDP apologist. foolish clueless and incompetence bunch of fools. #GMB2015
I love your write up man,u just spoke the truth,
Thanks linda for the good work
Exactly! You are 101% spot on there!
This research was carried out when President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ) asked the former of Governor Central Bank of Nigeria Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (SLS) to resign his post for allegedly leaking a letter SLS wrote to GEJ stating that $49.8 Billion US was yet to be remitted by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) into the nation coffers.
After some reconciliation efforts by the Finance Ministry, CBN and NNPC, the unremitted money was agreed to be some figure between $12 Billion US and $10.9 Billion US.
Afterwards, SLS insisted it was more in the region of $20Billion. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (NOI) the Minster of Finance and the Coordinating Minister of Economy set up an audit of the missing funds by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Audit firm and the report was promised to be ready by October, 2014. PwC claims the report is ready but the Federal Government is yet to release it to the public.
I had to wonder, what is the real value of $10 Billion US (note how I am being conservative and not going above $10 Billion).
See for yourself http://www.nairaland.com/2067016/photos-10-billion-us-dollars
I need a reasonable analysis, what does Jonathan still want? After how many deaths? What is he thinking? Is he thinking about Nigeria or himself? I can't understand..
Seun Kuti is a fool for debunking what he said earlier, I guess he's afraid Buhari will send Boko Haram to bomb him and his family when Failbuhari loose his election again. Vote out the evil Buhari!!!
The good, the bad and the Ugly.
The journalist did some additions and subtraction to the interview which made Seun flair up. That's d media for u. They write what sells at d detriment of who said it. Tsheeww
We don hear
What can a man at 72yrs offer 2 ds our country? Freedom or bondage, change or challenge? Or is Nigeria better of without an Igbo leader (Goodluck) or do we still need an Hausa man on ft seat (Buhari). Only God knows who's gonna sit der. And I don't mind who is gonna be.
From his comment," it means that the two are not worth voting for. GEJ would have been the best candidate but after all the sweat and blood, he simply went to steal."
I concur!!!
Its not just about Buhari Mr Man. Its about change. When the best is not available, the available becomes the best. We want a change in govt. Jonathan has failed us and Buhari is the only available alternative. If Buhari fails too we will vote him out come 2019
Seun! Buhari rule for less than two years...please explain how it's possible to jail Fela for three years. If he pick up Fela the first day he got power(which i doubt is possible). Maybe u should found out why u didn't see fela for three years.
Hmmm!!! Every1 gaz watch wot u say
SO This One sef has become a voice to reckon with???? Na wa oooo
Thank you my brother
And yet he has stayed in power longer than any politician in nigeria. His govern has brought in more death than a war zone , blood shed everywhere, poverty hitting ppl at all corners except for those in corridors of power, people dying as a result of poor health care. Young people dying anyhow.
I second jare
All these fake reporters everywhere... mscheeew
I ain't voting for any of 'em...
Until investigative journalism reverberates, for all I care journalism is dead in Nigeria. Twisted story telling, brown envelopes in the name of money for fuel, bias judgment, emotional write-up and the likes. Journalism is "stone Dead" in this country. #frowning
It just goes to show that no media or print can be trusted at this period ,cause they have all bin bribed or blind folded with money. my people Seun is correct its a disgrace that after most of us and our parents believed in GEJ his fucked up.its on him for making Buhari look good not us.we dnt need any media to tell us who to vote we can see what happening around us .
True talk Seun,am on ur side is a shame on Johann that buhari is contesting against.
we live in interesting times. hmmm. First time I would like how this guy responds.
THIS SEUN IS FULL OF HIMSELF...SO YOU THINK YOU CAN INFLUENCE HOW PEOPLE WILL VOTE?
My one and only crush......I no go rush!!
Yh that's how they raise false comment.
What he wrote and what the reporter wrote look the same to me.
You are totally, irreparably, unchangeably slow. The guy was responding to a betrayal by a "now former friend" you are there asking what he has done for the society and saying crap about igbo smoking musician..... God almighty, it is thought processes like yours that really shows there's no hope for Nigeria. 😯
Jonathan, please enter your house. We supported you in 2011, we are tired. You will fight corruption with the kind of technology that you refuse to talk about now because some people have been paid to repel that technology (recurring excuse). Bwahahahahaha. There must be many simpletons where you come from, dear sir.
GEJ has given me 100% confidence that I can rule/ lead this country. I used to be scared of such a prospect. I definitely will not do worse. How? Even if I don't have actions, I have more brains. And that is not bragging. I will not mis-yarn that much as the ship Nigeria sails on its own.
I tireoooo,feb 14 shld come already!
