Afrobeat singer and activist Seun Kuti has set social media ablaze with his fiery remarks about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership.
In a widely shared video, Kuti slammed those who believe Tinubu is incompetent, declaring, “If you think you’re smarter than Tinubu, you’re the one who is very stupid.”
According to Kuti, Tinubu’s rise to power is no accident but the result of strategic brilliance and deep-rooted political experience. He dismissed critics who undermine the president’s intelligence, arguing that they fail to grasp the complexity of Nigeria’s political terrain.
The musician also revealed a personal connection to Tinubu, stating that the politician played a mentor-like role in his younger years. He highlighted Tinubu’s involvement in the pro-democracy movement through the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), underscoring his long-standing political influence.
Kuti’s comments have since ignited widespread debate. While some support his assertion that Tinubu is a seasoned strategist, others insist that political experience does not absolve leaders from public scrutiny and accountability.
As the controversy continues, Kuti’s stance has further fueled conversations about governance, political perception, and the expectations of leadership in Nigeria.
