Popular afro-beat singer, Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti, commonly known as Seun Kuti, has lambasted the presidency over comment credited to Femi Adesina, the presidential aide on media, that Nigeria can not order president Muhammadu Buhari around despite being the ones that voted him into power.
While speaking during an interview on Nigeria Info FM on Tuesday on Tuesday, Adesina defended Buhari’s distant style of direct communication with Nigerians.
After a caller on the programme asked him when the president will subject himself to a media chat, Adesina said the president cannot be led around by the people.
He said, “He has had three national broadcasts in about a month. What else do they want?
“Some people think because whether they elected a president or didn’t elect him, you must lead your president by the nose. It doesn’t happen.
“The fact that you have elected a man does not mean then you begin to order him around……..”
Reacting to the now-viral video via a statement on his official Twitter handle, Seun described the comment as an ‘Animal Talk.’

“HEAR O ANODA ANIMAL TALK! NAIJA YOUTHS AND POOR, SE NA D PEOPLE UNA VOTE FOR B DIS?”
