    Femi Kuti on Wednesday, hosted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP) Mr. Peter Obi.

    Obi was accompanied on the visit by maveric singer, Charles Oputa otherwise known as Charlie Boy or Area Fada.

    Recall that last week kuti said he was too old to be Obidient which was misconstrued to indicate his lack of support for Obi in a video that went viral.
    He explained that his ‘Obidient comment’ was quoted out of context.
    The report claimed that Kuti during his performance at the Afrika Shrine last week, said: “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. Are you all okay in this country?”
    However, in his reaction in a Twitter post Kuti said that he was misquoted

    He noted that he does not like the term ‘Obidient’ but if Peter Obi wins and changes Nigeria, then it’s for the best of everyone.

    His tweet read: “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 am 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.”
