Popular saxophonist, Femi Kuti, has reacted to a report claiming that he called Peter Obi’s supporters zombies.

The 60-year-old on Thursday had allegedly thrown a shade to Peter Obi’s supporters and the Labour Party supporters were not having it.

He had made the comments during a performance at the Afrika Shrine.

According to the report made, he said, “You know what obedience means? Stand up, sit down, sit there — zombie.

“How can you be Obidient in this chaos? I am not Obidient.

“Tell me, at 60, why am I Obidient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, be peaceful. Are you all okay in this country?”

In reaction to this, Femi in a tweet on Friday, denied shading Peter Obi’s supporters. He said his words were taken out of context. He also referred to the report as lies.

His tweet read, “You are such liars. Of what benefit is it to the people when you take my words out of context like this?

“I said I’m too angry at my age to be obedient. Expressing I do not like the ‘term’ But if Peter Obi wins and actually changes the country better for all of us.”

Zombie was the title of a studio album released in 1976 by Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who is Femi Kuti’s father.
