Femi Kuti, a prominent musician from Nigeria, has responded to claims that he referred to Peter Obi's followers as zombies.
The musician refuted the claims in a tweet posted on his Twitter profile on Friday, August 12, 2022, saying that he had just expressed his anger at being referred to as a "obidient," a term used to refer to the candidate's followers.
"You are such liars. Of what benefit is it to the people when you take my words out of context like this? I said I’m too angry at my age to be obedient. Expressing I do not like the ‘term’ But if Peter Obi wins and actually changes the country better for all of us," he tweeted.
Numerous celebrities have publicly chosen a candidate since the presidential campaign season got underway.
Some have set up camp with Obi, who has gained a lot of support from young voters.
Okey Bakassi is one famous person who has spoken out a lot on the impending elections.
"Fixing Nigeria is more important to me now than any money any politician has to offer. If Nigeria becomes safe and economically stable, people like me will make money from safely using our talent across the country...like we used to. #letsfixNigeria," he tweeted.
Bakassi also said he wouldn't be listening to haters who have been shaming him on social media for his political views.
The comedian has never concealed his displeasure with the way the present leadership has run the country's affairs.
Bakassi claimed that up until the election of Buhari, his passion for the nation was unadulterated.
"I lost my "virginity" under Buhari's administration...yes!...my love for Nigerian was pure and unbroken until Buhari happened to us in 2015. I can't recognise my beloved country anymore,"Â he tweeted.
