Femi Kuti reacts to Wole Soyinka's statement that he will tear his green card if Trump wins

Femi Kuti has reacted to the statement made by Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka about tearing his green card over Donald trumps victory.

Recall that Wole Soyinka declared that he will tear his green card if Donald Trump won the U.S election, but later shifted the date of performing his vow on the day the President-elect would be sworn in.

When asked for his opinion concerning Soyinka’s ‘Green Card tearing ceremony’ in an interview with TheNetNg, Femi Kuti, son of Afrobeat Legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, said:

“He should quickly tear it.
My question is why does he have a green card in the first place?

Africa is so beautiful, look at our landscape; there is so much to see in Africa.”

The music legend added that he wondered why most Nigerians took the American elections so personal, as he felt the outcome doesn’t really affect him or any average Nigerian.
