Seun Kuti, the youngest son of late Pan-Africanist Fela Kuti has opined that the #EndSARs 5-for-5 list of demands is “too weak.”
The singer stated this in a live Instagram session while giving reasons for not lending his voice on the cause of the ongoing movement against police brutality.
“Increasing police salary will not stop police corruption. If money dey stop corruption, why our politicians still dey thief?”
Seun went on to say that it appears the average Nigerian is fighting for the issue that affects them, which is police brutality because they want to freely drive their Benz without being harassed but they do not seem to care about the problems that affect poorer Nigerians.
The singer said a call to end the harassment poor Nigerians face from these NURTW boys who extort money from them needs to be included in the list of demands, instead of advocating for an increase in police salary.
“Everybody is being extorted at every level in this country every day,” and which he concluded that #5for5 is “useless demands” and that no one can drag him to the current agitation because the demands are not serious enough..
