Peter Okoye, a Nigerian singer, recently caused tensions amongst Nigerians when he suggested that Seun Kuti was only relevant because of his father’s legendary status.

Seun Kuti is the youngest son of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, a pioneer of Afrobeat music, and has been seen to be attempting to carry on his father’s legacy.

However, Okoye disagrees with this assessment and believes that Seun cannot stand on his own without being connected to Fela.

On Wednesday, Peter shared a number of posts on his Twitter handle blasting Seun.

Seun sparked controversy when he publicly branded the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as an opportunist.

Peter Okoye had rushed to Obi’s defence after Seun accused him and his twin brother of campaigning for the current president of Nigeria – Muhammadu Buhari – in 2015, resulting in a heated exchange between the two.

In his response, Peter said, ”We PSQUARE have never campaigned for any Presidential candidates before now except for PETER OBI. Did we perform for President Buhari during his inauguration in 2015 YES. He was already the President! GO AND VERIFY.

”My late Father was a nobody, but today everyone knows the OKOYES. Dude, try removing “KUTI” from your name let me see if you are relevant.

”Remain in that your Local SHRINE while people like us and others continue excelling Globally. YOU CAN’T SHAME THE SHAMELESS.

You had no music career in the first place. All you do is brag about your family background.”

2023: Peter Okoye reveals power behind Peter Obi’s popularity

Peter Okoye of the P-Square music group has revealed that the pain of millions of Nigerians who are affected by the nation’s economic reality, is the force behind the popularity of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

According to the singer who took to his Twitter handle on Tuesday to drum support for Obi, the Obidient movement is no longer about the former Anambra governor but about rescuing the country.

“The Power behind @PeterObi is the pains of millions of Nigerians who deserve a better life but were failed by the corrupt Politicians! This is no longer about @PeterObi.

“This is about the millions of Frustrated Nigerians/Youths who wants to take their anger to the BALLOT BOX”, he posted.

Peter Okoye and his brother Paul Okoye have been staunch supporters of Peter Obi, believing that the LP candidate possess the ability to rescue the nation from its woes.
