    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Peter, also known as Mr. P, had criticised Seun for his remark against Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

    Mr. P, one-half of the renowned combo P-Square who has officially endorsed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, did not hold back when addressing Seun Kuti, an Afrobeat artist, performer, teacher, and social critic.

    Recall that Seun recently spoke out against Obi’s bid for the presidency, branding him an “opportunist.”

    In his words: “He hasn’t had the time because he started too late. You can’t be telling me that just because you lost PDP primaries 18 months before the election, you suddenly started a movement, and you have a plan for the country.

    No, that’s opportunism. And it’s not an opportunist that will deliver Nigeria—not jumping on Labour Party. The Labour Party has a socialist structure. Peter Obi is a capitalist. Where are they going?”

We all have different political views and inclinations based on the truth we know not on your truth. He needs to learn to control his emotions and speak on issues without dragging Seun’s late iconic father into the fold. Seun chooses to be neutral and is within his right to do so.”
