AFROBEAT artiste and son of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti, better known as abami eda (weired one), Seun Kuti has tanted some Nigerians celebrities, including singer Davido, filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, comedian Ayo Makun (AY) and others who received national honours from from immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari.
Seun Kuti who was recently released from detention following his physical assault on a police officer in uniform, took to his Instagram to shade AY for giving what he termed “an unnecessary explanation” about receiving the award.
He said that the national honour is based on a nomination by a presidential committee on the approval of the president. He taunted the comedian to receive his ‘Buhari’ award and stop explaining.
“Let me reiterate, no be public opinion poll them take dey choose national award, na by presidential committee, then the president will accept the nomination of certain people. In as much as it’s a national honour, it’s a presidential appointment. Biko, receive ur BUHARI award and stop to dey Shalaye!!!
“This is what I hate about sell outs. Is it that you don’t have chest or you can’t do anything with the chest! Resist the URGE to SHALAYE! Don’t try and dress HYPOCRISY as NATIONAL LOYALTY OR PATRIOTISM. With una 2 Homes and 2 Passports,” he stated.
Seun Kuti queried if no one will reject the honours based on principles or if the government has turned a new leaf overnight.
“Half of the people criticising this government as the worst thing ever dey go collect award for Abuja from the same government? No one will reject it on principle or Buhari don legit? Make una just tell me o. I dey ask for one presidential candidate like that.
“Next 3 1/2 years now, we start the same dance again. What do you stand for?” he stated
