Seun Kuti Calls Out Nigerian Celebrities & Feminists For Abandoning Natasha Akpoti

• He expressed disappointment that women have not shown the same level of support for Akpoti-Uduaghan as they did for Annie Idibia against 2Face in their divorce case.

Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has criticized Nigerian celebrities and feminists for not extending their support to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents the Kogi Central Senatorial District.

He expressed disappointment that women have not rallied behind Akpoti-Uduaghan in the same manner they did for Annie Idibia during her divorce proceedings with 2Face.

In a statement on Instagram, he noted that while discussions surrounding Burna Boy and Sophia Egbueje’s Lamborghini scandal have been prevalent, there has been a lack of attention towards the serious issue of sexual harassment allegations.

He said, “About the sexual harassment case in the senate, I stand with the Senator [Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan] 100 per cent.

“Because she isn’t even the first one to make such allegation [against the Senate President]. It’s appalling that all these so-called women activists are all quiet.

“They have something to say about Burna Boy’s alleged reneged promise to Sophia Egbueje but shy away from important matters…

“These kind of things cannot continue in this country. What that woman [Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan] is saying is very serious. And the celebrities will not come out to support her in this kind of matter, the way everybody had something to say to defend Annie against 2face.

“Many of these celebrities, especially Nollywood actors and actresses are benefiting from the government through fraudulent grants so they can never come out to speak on this kind of matter…. I can’t openly protest to demand justice for Natasha but I implore Nigerian women to support her.”
