According to rumors, the statement was made by Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s son during an interview on TheMicOn Podcast.
He stated that his top choice for president is Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress (AAC).
Even if Sowore wins the 2023 election, he will still be unable to govern the nation successfully because the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have the majority of power.

Seun Kuti further made a mockery of the LP flagbearer, insisting he is an internet president whose election is on social media and lacks the structural background to win an election.
He added that it would take the efforts of dedicated Nigerians, to save the country.
He said: “Even if Sowore wins, he is my friend, of all the candidates, he is the one I prefer, I tell him all the time. But there is no president that can save Nigeria. Only the people of Nigeria can save this country. Even if Peter Obi who is the internet favorite, even if he wins, Peter Obi with his noise makers surrounded by internet favorite, let us be factual on that, you know because the issue on that is just because of the way Nigerian politics is, he hasn’t had the time because he started a little bit too late.NYSC portal
“You can’t tell me that just because you lost PDP primaries say 18 months to the election, you suddenly start a movement and you have a real plan for the country no, that’s opportunist, that opportunism. You know and it is not an opportunist that will deliver Nigeria. It will be a dedicated individual that has looked at this country and has dedicated his life, the person would have gone to every local government, and the person will have his own structure not jumping on Labour Party.
“Labour Party is a socialist structure and Peter Obi is a capitalist where are they going? Even if Sowore wins, who is my very good friend, how is he going to operate in PDP and APC-controlled states, PDP and APC-controlled senate and house of Reps? How is he going to run this country, so he was that we feel he should run it for the betterment of the majority of the people.”JAMB Result
