What Falana wants presidential candidates to learn from Fela’s music
Lawyer and human rights activist, Femi Falana, has advised politicians seeking political positions in the forthcoming 2019 general elections to listen to Fela’s music.
He gave the advice while addressing the audience during the 2018 Felabration event tagged Fela @80: Overtaking Overtake, at the Fela debates in Lagos, titled, “African Leadership in the Millennium”.
The erudite lawyer said Fela had foreseen Nigeria’s problems and he also warned about the challenges and proffered solutions to such problems in his music before he died.
Falana said; “I want most of these presidential aspirants to listen to Fela’s music very well. That’s where they can find solutions to most of our problems.
“Our country is rich as Fela sang in his music, but our people are still hungry and poor; you must understand our society before you can lead us.”
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who contested and lost the governorship election of Ekiti State in 2007 on the platform of National Conscience Party, also urged young Nigerians to get organised so that the sky would be their starting point in life.
