Music artist Seun Kuti has reacted to the recent ban on Okada (motorcycles) and Keke (tricycles) in Lagos State, calling the government oppressors.
Seun Kuti, like his father before him, is known to speak his mind on various issues, often tackling those in power if he feels they have crossed the line.
Just yesterday, there were unconfirmed reports that at least three persons lost their lives while protesting against the ban, and many others were arrested.
Expressing his displeasure on Instagram, Seun blasted the leadership of the state, stating that they didn’t care about the children dying every day or the police brutality that had become rampant in the country.
Nigerian professionals have shown their true colors again as largely oppressors in waiting. Children dying in the hospital every day they don’t care. Miseducated and undereducated children they don’t care. Police brutality, no outrage but tell them to walk from bus stop to the office oh no the worst has happened!!!
If u wish for your children or loved ones to be Okada and Keke riders please raise up your hand! We know these ain’t jobs. We pacify those we have failed with slave labor and slave wages and we are ready to fight for them to continue slaving away!! #getthesax.Seun Kuti
The famous singer isn’t alone in the criticism of the ban as many others have done the same in what they see as proof that the government doesn’t have the interest of the people at heart.
