Kuti stated further that though he would not like to discuss the details of his meeting with Obi because it was a private one, he admitted that they discussed politics and the state of the nation.
“If I tell you about my discussion with Obi, I feel that will not be right,” he said.
The Grammy nominee continued, “but, if he comes out to say something different from what actually transpired, I would then have to talk, at least to set the records straight.
However, I can give you the periphery of our discussion. We talked about how bad Nigeria is, and I gave him some ideas on what I felt needed to be done to put the country on the right path of development.”

Femi Kuti added that Peter Obi spoke against the threats he received after it was alleged that he called Obidients, ‘Zombies’.
Kuti continued, “he also mentioned that campaigns should not involve threats, and he said that was why he came to apologise to me for the actions of some of his followers who threatened and abused me on social media.”
He also added that he does not have a favorite candidate ahead of the coming 2023 presidential election. Kuti mentioned that he would continue to criticize any political leader regardless of their status.
