Following the attack on legendary Nigerian saxophonist and afrobeat singer, Femi Kuti, by fans and supporters of Peter Obi the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi has initiated a meeting with Femi Kuti.

Kuti, in a video, however, cleared the air that he never referred to Obi’s supporters as zombies, as against widespread reports on social media.

A few days ago, Femi Kuti, explained that his grouse with the supporters of Obi was the name they call themselves, Obidients.

Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, has assured Femi Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend, that his ‘Obidient movement’ will base its campaign on issues rather than personality attacks.

"I saw what my own brother, Femi, tweeted and I said no! That is not the future and the society we want to build.

“We will lead a campaign based on issues that affect Nigerians and that is what I encourage everybody to do,” Obi said while addressing Kuti in the video clip.

Twitter account belonging to Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization, with the handle, @PO_GrassRoots, on Wednesday, tweeted, “BREAKING: Our incoming President H.E @PeterObi met with @Femiakuti to assure him of issue based campaign and inclusiveness of all Nigerians in his movement. What a man? Dear Nigerians, we must not miss this opportunity of having H.E @PeterObi as our next President. #Obidatti2023.”

Mr Charles Oputa, veteran musician, popularly referred to as Charly Boy, was also at the meeting.
