Seun Kuti disclosed this at a question and answer session on the Channels Television’s Google+ Hangout.
“I do not have the power to stop the FG from printing the note but I would want the FG to remove my grandma’s face from the s0-called note,” he said.
According to him, in his own view he said the Federal Government did not officially inform the Kuti family of the intended action “It was through the radio that we got to know that her face would be used…we were not officially contacted.”
The Afro-beat musician talked about his grandmother, Funmilayo Ransome –Kuti, his legendary father Fela Anikulapo Kuti, his own music with Egypt 80 band and life.
Speaking on the money to be spent in printing out the N5000 note, Seun Kuti said “If I had N40b I will rebuild the federal government primary and secondary schools, rather than waste it on printing the N5000 note. That note cannot solve Nigeria’s problems, the government should learn to invest in people…the Kuti family is more concerned about the development of the country not the naira. If I were the FG, I would establish more schools, improve on the educational system rather than come up with N5000 note idea.
He further said “the FG’s plan to crush down the social media cannot work because it is the one way through which we curb down the FG’s excesses’.
