Olufela Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti professionally known as Femi Kuti, has come out to debunk the rumors going round that he is now a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Femi also stated that at some point, the Vice President of the federal republic of Nigeria Prof. Yemi Osinbajo approached him to join the ruling party APC, but he turned him down as he has also refused the same offer from the opposite party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and he will not be a party to any political groups in the country.

approached me to join APC, I blatantly refused as I also refused to join PDP or any other political party.

Nigerians still trying to believe the news going round and the statement that has been released by Femi Kuti rejected the offer brought to him by the vice president of the federation.

While most Nigerians are doubting that Femi Kuti turned down the VP’s offer, some who witness the situation backed him up as they were there as well.

I remember this moment so well. It was Pastor Tunde Bakare who took the mic immediately after Femi and tried to downplay things and removed Tinubu's name from Femi's list of corrupt persons.

Many might think Femi Kuti made or is making a wrong move by coming out publicly to say this, but do you agree to that, or you feel he did the right thing?
