I’m Not a Foolish Man – Femi Kuti Lambasts 2Face Over Planned Protest, Gives Him Candid Advise (Video)

The planned nationwide protest led by R&B musician, 2Face Idibia, against the President Buhari-led federal government, is set to hit the rocks as legendary Afrobeat singer, Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti, popularly known as Femi Kuti, has publicly rejected the idea of the protest and disassociated himself.

Below is how TheNET NG exclusively reported the story;

Femi Kuti – the eldest son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti – says he’s not in support of 2face Idibia’s nationwide protest planned for Monday, February 6.

Amidst his weekly performance at the Afrika Shrine last night, Femi disclosed 2face had come to him to request the use of the Kuti’s historical venue on Sunday, February 5, while they prepare for the widely reported protest march.

‘I hear say they want to do protest here, they even choose the day Sunday, Sunday is my day,’ he started.

"So I was thinking, 2face say some people come meet am say make he broadcast am, so no be him sit down for him house com plan am, I for no vex. Who be the people wey come meet you?’ he questioned.

He stated that there’s something ‘fishy’ about the protest because they planned a ‘coup’ in Nigeria without him and they decided to use the Afrika Shrine.

Femi added that they want to ‘scatter’ his venue because it’s ‘bubbling’, and it may prompt the federal government to close down one of their most valuable properties. He assured his fans that it won’t happen because he’s not a ‘foolish man’.

Below is a video clip where the 54-year-old declared that he’s not in support of the one-day protest and instead discussed how to do an ‘original’ protest which include walking from Lagos to Abuja or protesting forever till the government makes changes.
