The family of late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has denied endorsing any presidential candidate in the 2023 elections or condoning the use of any of his songs in political campaigns.
Fela’s “Eko Ile” was used as campaign music by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in their 2023 presidential election. Fans were already speculating that the Kuti family was endorsing the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) party, so this move only fueled those suspicions.
Femi Kuti issued a statement on his verified social media accounts saying that the Kuti family has never taken a political stance and that the APC’s action was done without their knowledge or consent.
