In 1976, Na Buhari Kill Fela - Eedris Abdulkareem

Its not news that President Muhammad Buhari
and Fela Anikulapo Kuti have history back when
the military regime was still at hand. It was
believed that the currency-trafficking charge
brought against Fela was trumped-up and
politically-motivated as Gen. Buhari was the
federal commissioner (Minister) for petroleum
during Obasanjo’s government when N2.8 billion "oil
money" was reportedly missing, which Fela sang
about in Army Arrangement.

Buhari’s government eventually charged Fela
for currency-trafficking offences, found him
guilty and sentenced him to five years imprisonment.
He only regained his freedom when Buhari’s
successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida granted him
pardon two years later.

Due to this, Fela’s musician son Seun Kuti has since
attacked Buhari, saying: “For you to jail that man, you
must be inherently evil.”

Long time ‘Rapper’ Eedris Abdulkareem dropped a bomb
on us at the Felabration 2015 during his performance.
He said ‘In 1976, na buhari kill Fela, na the same old
people dey rule us’.
