In as much as it’s a national honour, it’s a presidential appointment. Biko, receive your BUHARI award and stop to dey Shalaye.

“This is what I hate about sellouts. Is it that you don’t have a chest, or you can’t do anything with the chest? Resist the URGE to SHALAYE (explain), Don’t try and dress HYPOCRISY as NATIONAL LOYALTY OR PATRIOTISM. With una 2 Homes and 2 Passports,” Seun Kuti said.

Popular artist Davido and three eminent Nigerian filmmakers, Kunle Afolayan, Charles Opaleke, and Ayodeji Richard Makun, often known as A.Y., were among the honorees.

Kuti has harshly criticized these people for receiving the accolades, questioning their consistency and mocking them for what he sees as their double standards on his Instagram page.

He is adamant that Buhari’s government is one of the worst the country has ever seen and should not be supported.

Kuti questioned the sincerity of people who continuously criticize the government while accepting praises from the same administration.

He asked why no one would refuse the awards on principle, or if they actually felt Buhari had changed as a leader.

“The government never attacks any issue (good and bad) except it has a direct impact on their lives and livelihoods. Ebola, COVID, End SARS protest, crypto etc, they acted decisively. They’ll treat bandits with kid gloves until their lives and that of their families are in danger.

“All it takes for the government to wipe out this menace is for the bandits and herdsmen to take the lives of one of their own, “mistakenly”. Till then they can continue to brazenly kidnap and maim ordinary Nigerians for all the government cares.”
