Singer Seun Kuti Slams President Tinubu For Removing Fuel Subsidy: ''You Made A Wicked Decision''

Popular Afrobeat artist Seun Anikulapo-Kuti has criticised President Bola Tinubu for his decision to scrap fuel subsidies.

He argued that contrary to the president's claim that it was a "difficult" decision made in the national interest, it was in fact a "brutal decision" that put the well-being of Nigerians at risk.

Kuti also slammed the government's decision to purchase an aircraft for $150 million at a time when the education sector remains severely underfunded.

He stressed that the funds allocated for the purchase of a new presidential jet could have been used to build and maintain 10 primary schools over a period of 20 years.

During a recent session on Instagram Live, the outraged musician asked, “Who donated for the $150 million jet for Tinubu? Who did they ask for donations?

“That $150 million do you know how many schools it will build? Or how long it will run a primary school? 10 good primary schools would be run on that money for at least 20 years. 10 good primary schools would be built and run, that will educate ten generations of African people,” Kuti added.

He continued: “The President cannot tell us that this petrol matter is not in his control. He is the President and Minister of Petroleum. They say they take tough decisions but there is no tough decision taken here. President Tinubu took a wicked decision, this whole subsidy and floating the dollar, there is nothing tough about it.”
