Felas eldest son, Femi Kuti has revealed he’s not in support of 2face Idibia’s nationwide protest planned for Monday, February 6, 2017.

Femi while performing at the Afrika Shrine last night, February 2, 2017, was reportedly overheard saying 2face had come to him to request the use of the Afrika Shrine on Sunday, February 5, 2017, while they prepare for the widely reported protest march.

NET reports he said, "I hear say they want to do protest here, they even choose the day Sunday, Sunday is my day.
