'Sit At Home' Order: Seun Kuti Comes Down Hard On 'Oga Buhari', Lawmakers

 

Seun Kuti, son of afrobeats legend, Fela Kuti has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for issuing the "Sit At Home" order without making proper provisions for Nigerians.

Allnews reports that Buhari had on Monday ordered Lagos and Abuja residents to stay home, in order to contain coronavirus outbreak in the country.

In a series of Twitter rants, Kuti accused the government of emulating the western countries which have made proper provisions for their citizens.

Questioning the president and the lawmakers, the afrobeats star said "OGA GENERAL BUHARI AND NASS WETIN B UNA ECONOMY STIMULUS PACKAGE FOR D CONTRI? AS COVIK ONE NINE DON TAKEOVER D CONTRI AND UNA ASK Us CITIZENS TO SIDDON FOR HOUSE."

According to him, one of the appropriate measures of containing the virus would have been to run tests on every citizen, rather than ordering them to stay at home.

"SE GOVT GO COME TEST Us FOR OUR HOUSE NI, ABI GOVT NO GO CARI OUT TEST ON CITIZENS TO FIND OUT WHO HAS IT OR NOT? SE WE GO JUST SIDDON 4 HOUSE AND GOVT BELIEVE ALL WILL B FINE LIKE DAT. PLS SHOW Us YOU RESPONSIBLE TO D TASK OGA GENERAL BUHARI, D CONTRI NEED ACTION NOW, NOT HIDING
