Seun Kuti Accuses Peter Obi of Wrecking Anambra Economy as Governor
By Boniface Ihiasota, USA
Nigerian musician Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has made a controversial statement via a video on his Instagram page, alleging that the family of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, contributed to the deterioration of the state’s economy.
He claimed that the state’s poor infrastructure, including bad roads and inadequate schools, can be attributed to Peter Obi’s failure to pay taxes to the government.
“Peter Obi put his money in Panama. Obi family are not paying tax in Anambra State. That is why Anambra State does not have good roads, good schools, good hospital.
“People like Obi hide their money in Panama, far away from where Nigerian government can see it. If Obi loves Nigeria, why is he hiding money away from us to tax?
“Any money in Panama, Nigerians cannot benefit from it. Obi makes all his money in Nigeria and hide in Panama. I have a right to criticize Obi.”
He, therefore, admonished Peter Obi supporters saying, “ I am not in the game of picking the lesser evil, I don’t pick evil.”
