Nigeria singer, Seun Kuti has claimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s only “achievement” so far is covering up crimes.
He claimed that most of the President’s tough economic policies that have impoverished Nigerians were simply enacted to protect the political elites from facing justice for their crimes.
The Grammy-nominated Afrobeat musician further claimed that the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike’s major concern while addressing the new opposition coalition during his monthly media chat was that the coalition wants to the change the status quo.
He claimed Wike berated the move by the politicians in the opposition coalition because he felt disappointed by their ungratefulness despite all President Tinubu has done to protect the political class.
Speaking in a video broadcast, Kuti said, “Wike’s recent media chat deserves some plots of land, in my books… Wike said during Rotimi Ameachi’s tenure as Governor of Rivers State, his [Ameachi’s] wife was collecting N4 billion per month. I wished he mentioned how many years that she received the money.
“Wike and the other politicians who support Asiwaju [Tinubu] are fighting for the status quo. The noise they are making.. If you listen to what Wike was saying at his media chat with a political ear, he is asking the opposition coalition politicians if they want to scatter the status quo.
“He said this man [President Bola Tinubu] is protecting all of us. When I say all of us, I don’t mean ordinary Nigerians. I’m referring to the political class; the rich, crooked, and corrupt Nigerian elites. That was what Wike was shouting at his media chat.
“Nigerians, I want you to understand that when they say this President has made touch decisions to protect the country, see, the only thing the president has done is to cover up crimes upon crimes.
“And in order for those crimes to be covered up, the bravery needed to do that is wickedness. He [President Tinubu] impoverished the whole Nigerians because in crime something has been taken.”
