VDM had blamed the minister and even warned him not to take over the land he wants to buy for his NGO.
In his reaction, Kuti blasted his best friend, VDM, and the young officer, stating that Yerima was not as brave as many had claimed.
He explained that for him, bravery would have been the officer rejecting orders to guard an illegal land and abandoning the constitution.
Seun added that bravery, in his view, meant obeying the constitution and suggested that true bravery would have been the officer looking Wike in the eye and telling him, “Your father is a fool.”
