Femi Kuti , son of Afrobeat Legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has
reacted to the statement made by Nobel Laureate, Wole
Soyinka about tearing his green card over Donald trumps
victory.
Recall that Soyinka was reported to have declared that he will
tear his American green card and head back to his country if
the Republican candidate won the election, and later shifted
the date of performing his vow on the day the President-elect
would be sworn in.
Following reactions by social media commentators on when
the pen icon would tear the green card, Soyinka asked
everyone to mind their business as he would be the one to tear
his card at his own time and not a time fixed by critics.
When asked for his opinion concerning Soyinka’s ‘Green Card
tearing ceremony’ in an interview with TheNetNg, Femi Kuti
said: “He should quickly tear it.
“My question is why does he have a green card in the first
place?
“Africa is so beautiful, look at our landscape; there is so much
to see in Africa.”
The music legend added that he wondered why most
Nigerians took the American elections so personal, as he felt
the outcome doesn’t really affect him or any average Nigerian.
