I Can Never Vote For Buhari But I Can Forgive Him If He Became President And Do Something Good-Seun Kuti

The recent chat the Afrobeat star and Late Fela's son, Seun Kuti had with the Nation he explained why he would not vote this year and the only condition he can forgive Buhari for locking his late father Fela kuti up ...

He said

No, I don't have my PVC because I
decided already long time ago, even
before the candidates were chosen,
that the election is the politician's
elections still. I'm not going to vote.
And I've been proven correct. I'm
happy that so many people in
Nigeria today want to be involved in
the democratic process of this
country. It is a big development in
our democratic development.

And so many people want to also
cast protest votes this year protest
against how the country has been
run by the present administration
and I understand. And I support it as well. But the truth about it is that I believe that I am very politically
mature. And for me to cast my vote,
whoever I vote for has to represent
my aspirations. I won't just cast a
protest vote in as much as a protest
vote is needed in this forthcoming
election.

The candidate that is brought
forward as well is someone that I
believe is not in the good books of
the Kuti family. And my family,
we're very united in our views
about civic responsibility and
human rights.

And retired General Buhari has
trampled on the rights of my family
when he jailed my father, illegally
for that matter. And Fela was
innocent. This is why it would be
difficult for me to say I want to vote
for Buhari.

Maybe if Buhari wins and becomes
president, then I can forgive him if
he begins to do to Nigerians what
Fela would have liked for Nigerians
because maybe if Buhari becomes
president and he suddenly becomes
pro-people, developing Nigeria from
the ground-up, things that I know
would have made my father happy,
and he is bring Nigeria up yeah.
Definitely, I would understand that
even if Fela were alive and Fela sees Nigeria going forward like this, he would speak in favour of the man. But so far, I can't betray my father based on some promises and some words. So, that is why I'm not voting for him.
