Veteran musician Femi Kuti has weighed in on Nigeria's leadership crisis, arguing that President Bola Tinubu is not the country's biggest problem.
Speaking on the Good News Naija podcast, the Afrobeat legend insisted that the rot in Nigeria runs deeper than any single individual.
The musician pointed to the judiciary, questioning how Tinubu was able to contest and assume office if the allegations against him were true. He argued that a system with men and women of integrity would have prevented such an outcome.
According to Kuti, corruption in Nigeria is endemic, and all those entrusted with leadership belong to the same class of corrupt elite.
He said:
"Do you think Tinubu is the problem? The judiciary that didn't stop him from getting there in the first place is a problem. If all the allegations against him are true, how did he contest?"
"If we had men and women of calibre and integrity, he wouldn't have been able to contest in the first place."
