‘It’s not Tinubu’ – Femi Kuti reveals Nigeria’s real problem

Afrobeat musician Femi Kuti has stated that President Bola Tinubu is not the primary issue plaguing Nigeria. Instead, Kuti believes that institutional corruption is the root of the country's problems. He made these remarks during an episode of the Good News Naija podcast, where he argued that if Nigeria had a robust judicial system, Tinubu wouldn't have been able to run for president, considering the numerous allegations against him.

Kuti emphasized that corruption is deeply entrenched in Nigeria, with all leaders in various sectors hailing from the same corrupt elite class. He questioned how Tinubu could have contested the presidency if the allegations against him were true. Kuti further pointed out that the lack of capable and honest individuals in leadership positions has dashed the hopes of young Nigerians, citing systemic corruption as the main culprit.
