Peter Obi Visits Femi Kuti At The Afrika Shrine (Photos)

 

Peter Obi has visited Femi Kuti.

 

The Labour Party presidential candidate visited the afrobeat musician in the company of Charles Oputa and others.

 

He assured that his ‘Obidient movement’ will base its campaign on issues rather than personality attacks.

 

According to Obi, his campaign would be based on everyday issues affecting Nigerians and Nigeria, adding that the recent controversy was not what the movement and his ambition stand for.

 

The former Anambra governor gave the assurance when he visited the musician, according to a video clip online. Others present during the meeting include Charles Oputa, known better as Charly Boy, among others.

 

“We will lead a campaign based on issues that affect Nigerians and that is what I encourage everybody to do,” he said while addressing Femi in the video clip.

 

 

While the detail of the visit is unknown, it may not be unconnected to the recent online squabble between the veteran musician and Obi’s supporters.

 

There had been reports (not The PUNCH) that the musician allegedly described Obi’s supporters as “zombies”.

 

“How can you be Obidient in this chaos? I am not Obidient. Tell me, at 60, why am I Obidient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, be peaceful,” he said.

 

“Are you all okay in this country?,” Kuti was quoted to have allegedly said during a performance at the Shrine Thursday night.

 

However, the veteran musician faulted the claims, saying he was misquoted and he never described the supporters as “zombies”.

 

In a series of Tweets on Friday, Kuti said, “You are such liars. Of what benefit is it to the people when you take my words out of context like this?
