Speaking during a live video session with fans, Kuti criticized the state of the nation.
Musician and activist Seun Kuti has sparked conversation online after declaring that Omoyele Sowore, a fellow activist and former presidential candidate, is more competent than Labour Party’s Peter Obi.
Speaking during a live video session with fans, Kuti criticized the state of the nation, alleging that “evil men” often operate under different guises to commit atrocities.
When asked by a viewer who he considered more capable between Sowore and Obi, Kuti responded, “Sowore is a better man for the job than Peter Obi.” He added bluntly, “Even you asking the question are better than Peter Obi.”
Kuti’s remarks have stirred a range of reactions on social media, with some defending Sowore’s long-standing calls for reform and others criticizing perceived regional bias.
The comments add to ongoing political debates surrounding Nigeria’s leadership and the effectiveness of past and prospective leaders.
