He contended that, contrary to the President’s assertion that this removal was a “difficult” decision made in the nation’s best interest, it was, in fact, a “cruel decision” that jeopardized the well-being of Nigerians.
Kuti also condemned the government’s decision to purchase a $150 million jet while the education sector remains severely underfunded.
He emphasized that the funds allocated for the acquisition of the new presidential jet could have been utilized to establish and maintain ten primary schools for two decades.
During a recent session on Instagram Live, the outraged musician asked, “Who donated for the $150 million jet for Tinubu? Who did they ask for donations?
“That $150 million do you know how many schools it will build? Or how long it will run a primary school? 10 good primary schools would be run on that money for at least 20 years. 10 good primary schools would be built and run, that will educate ten generations of African people,” Kuti added.
He continued: “The President cannot tell us that this petrol matter is not in his control. He is the President and Minister of Petroleum. They say they take tough decisions but there is no tough decision taken here. President Tinubu took a wicked decision, this whole subsidy and floating the dollar, there is nothing tough about it.”
