Olufela Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti, better known by his stage name Femi Kuti, a Nigerian musician who was born in London, has expressed his contempt for Peter Obi’s supporters, implying that they are a bunch of slavering individuals who, like zombies, are incapable of thinking for themselves and making their own decisions.

The musician claimed that because he is intelligent and independent-minded, he cannot be controlled like a zombie. He continued, “Obedience” supporters of Peter Obi are referred to as zombies.

Zombie was the title of a studio album released in 1976 by his late father, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, when he excoriated the Nigerian soldiers as a bunch of robotic and senseless individuals.

The song, which went on to be one of Fela’s greatest hits, followed a raid on his residence in Lagos at the time.

“You know what obedience means? Stand up, sit down, sit there zombie,” Kuti opined during a performance at the Shrine Thursday night in Lagos, wondering why Obi’s popularity has surged exponentially in recent months.

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

Obi’s candidature has garnered grassroots support from young Nigerians who see him as a better alternative to other candidates in the 2023 contest.

Peter Obi’s campaign is propelled by a horde of young Nigerians who describe themselves as “Obedient” followers on social media
