Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Femi Kuti said he never called the supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, known as ‘Obidients’ Zombies as claimed.
Reports had it that Kuti described Obidients as zombies. “You know what obedience means? Stand up, sit down, sit there — zombie.
He was said to have made the comment while performing at the new Afrika Shrine on Thursday.
‘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?.
But reacting via his Twitter page on Friday, the musician said his words were taken out of context.
His words: “You are such liars. Of what benefit is it to the people when you take my words out of context like this?
“I said I’m too angry at my age to be obedient. Expressing I do not like the ‘term’. But if Peter Obi wins and actually changes the country better for all of us.
“How you all come up with fabricated lies beats me. But why all the lies? You heard me endorse him or ever anyone? Mr Mc lie lie. Yes and where did I called the youths zombies? I AM NOT BAT.”
You are such liars.
