Burna boy gave a rather unsurprising reply to Omoyele Sowore’s call to join him in his protest scheduled on Nigeria’s 60th Independence Day.
The “African giant” had this exchange of words via his Twitter page where he boldly said he doesn’t trust any politician including Sowore.
The singer further stated that all politicians in Nigeria are the same.
He tweeted, “Everybody is a Fela fan and supporter now that he is dead. Humans are so funny, you politicians are all the same (especially in Nigeria) and frankly, I don’t trust none of you.@YeleSowore.”
The above tweet insinuating that Sowore might be up to all this for personal gains or ambitions.
The exchange began when Sowore invited Burna boy to join in the Revolution now protest and reminded Burna boy of his imitations to the late Fela who fervently fought and spoke against the government and urged him to carry on in the same vein.
“Hello @burnaboy, everywhere I turn, people describe you as a revolutionary musician, the foreign media even celebrate you, compare you to Fela Kuti, but I am yet to see you lead anyone to a police station carrying a coffin for head of state! Join #Oct1stProtest #RevolutionNow,” he tweeted.
Burna boy in turn declined the offer and tweeted that he couldn’t and wouldn’t involve in such protest and cited that the very people that Fela fought for where the same ones that celebrated his losses.
