“That’s my mother and my step mum in the picture. The only women that stayed with my dad through everything. On this day, I met my father properly for the first time. He had been imprisoned by the evil and mean usurper and human rights abuser, Mohammad Buhari.

This pictures show you the truth about life…. When u are knocked down you know those that truly are loyal.

My mother used to tell me of the abuses they suffered and how we had to live in the shrine when my father was imprisoned and eventually how the very Nigerians he gave up everything for turned against him and called him names and worst of all said he was a BAD man.

That’s Motun as well my immediate elder sister just 6 days my senior. All the protest pictures I see of my dad I see these 2 women right behind him. So people if u wanna know who your real loyalist are.

Look behind you during the trying times and the closer they are to you then the more loyal they are “

In 1984, Muhammadu Buhari’s government, of which Kuti was a vocal opponent, jailed him on a charge of currency smuggling. Amnesty International and others denounced the charges as politically motivated.
