Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, Nigerian
musician and son of the late Afro-beat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has
condemned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over the
postponement of the presidential elections.
Kuti speaking at the New Africa
Shrine, Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday while hosting Omoyele Sowore, presidential
candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) described the present leaders as
‘bunch of failures’
Femi, then called on young
Nigeria to plan for a landslide victory against the corrupt establishment,
adding that he is tired.
According to him, “Nigeria needs
a government that will not give you excuses; a government that is ready to work
immediately it is empowered; a man that is ready to go to the four corners of
this country, not that he will be sweating: ‘Hey, I don tire, hospital today,
hospital tomorrow.”
Kuti said: “This bunch of people,
them yeye no be small. How can you just wake up and say you are not ready? What
have you been doing for the past four years?
“This is not the time to plan.
They are a bunch of failures.
“The youth must be ready so that
there is a landslide in every corner. Nobody must steal again in this country;
everybody must have equal opportunity to be successful; one man’s success is
everybody’s success.”
Further speaking, Kuti urged
Sowore to fulfil all his promises, adding that he is the type of president he
would endorse.
“If I’m going to endorse
somebody, Sowore is the type of person I will endorse.
“If there is a person I will
endorse, I will endorse a young man that will lead a young generation to the
future, to provide good schools, to provide good health care, good roads,
electricity.
“This country needs this; do this
now; every corner of this country. Roads must be fixed; a minimum of five great
hospitals; all universities must be of international standards. Nothing less;
no excuses.
“A government that will not give
you excuses; a government that is ready to work immediately it is empowered; a
man that is ready to go to the four corners of this country not that he will be
sweating: ‘Hey, I don tire, hospital today hospital tomorrow’.
