Seun Kuti confronts honorees who accepted national honour
Controversial Nigerian Afrobeats musician Seun Kuti has singled out individuals who made the list of 2023 national award nominees.
More than 300 notable Nigerians, including Davido, AY Makun, Kunle Afolayan, Victor Osimhen, Terry Waya, and more, have been awarded the Officer Of The Order of The Niger (OON) title.
On Sunday, May 28, the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs made the announcement.
Seun Kuti implied that half of the celebrities and public figures who criticized former President Muhammadu Buhari were acting hypocritically by accepting the award in response to the announcement of the national honors list.
He questioned their values and wondered whether any of them would do the unthinkable and turn down the national honors on moral grounds.

Next 3 1/2 years now we start the same dance again. What do you stand for? #Mafo!! #standwellwell.”
