Seun Kuti asks for FG Apology!

Son of Fela, afrobeat singer, Seun has publicly asked for apology from the Federal Goverment for the death of his grandmother, Funmilayo Kuti, before putting her picture on the proposed 5000  N4500 note.
General Olusegun Obasanjo's military regime of 1978 was responsible for the death of  woman regarded  as the  'mother of Africa', the first woman to drive a car and ride a bike. The family never forgave FG for this wicked and painful act.
Funmilayo Kuti's children who protested her death then, all now late,Fela, Beko,Olikoye and Dolupo, but one of her grand children, Seun Kuti is not taking this laying down. He was interview on channels  tv and stood his ground and accused FG for the death of his grandmother.
Social networks like Facebook and twitter have formed  campaign groups against this also. From Seun's tweets, it looks like he means business and ready to go all the way.
The bill to print the money has been approved by the Federal Executive Council , which Jonah himself heads and has been passed on to the House of Senate. It might be a matter of days before CBN is given the go ahead to commence printing. The FG is yet to respond to Seun Kuti's request neither have they apologized.
Hmmmmmmm shame go gree them apologise?  Will Baba give them go ahead to do so?????
