Controversial rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem sure knows how make headlines whenever he wants to. This time, he takes a shot at President Muhammadu Buhari at the on-going #Felabration2015 where he said, ‘‘In 1976, na Buhari kill Fela, na the same old people dey rule us’.
In reality, Buhari and Fela were not best of friends. Buhari was the federal commissioner (minister) for petroleum during Obasanjo’s regime when N2.8 billion ‘oil money’ was reportedly missing, which Fela sang about in ‘Army Arrangement’.
Buhari’s government eventually charged Fela for currency-trafficking offenses, found him guilty and sentenced him to five years imprisonment. He only regained his freedom when Buhari’s successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida granted him pardon two years later.
Eedris however is not a fan of Buhari at all. He openly declared his support for Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 general elections in Nigeria.
