Afro-beat icon Femi Kuti has revealed that supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate’s Peter Obi have made him a target after he likened their Óbidient’ chant to zombie allegiance.
Kuti said that he has received threats to himself and his family members and also threats to burn down the African Shrine where during a show on Thursday, he questioned the supporters of the LP candidate on their ‘Obidient’ chants. However, he clarified that he didn’t mean that the supporters were actually zombies, adding his words were taken out of context.
“I’m too angry, I’m too sad and depressed to be ‘obedient’. How can anyone come up with that term? How can you be obedient? Me I can’t be obedient in this country,” Kuti was quoted as saying during the show.
“Tell me, at 60, why am I Obidient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, and be peaceful. Are you all okay in this country?”
