UIButton.addTarget with swift 3 and local function

I'm trying to generate multiple buttons programmatically. For the moment, here is what I've got :

        for i in POIArray {

            let newI = i.replacingOccurrences(of: "GPS30", with: "")

            let button = UIButton(type: .custom)
            button.setImage(UIImage(named: newI), for: .normal)

            button.frame.size.height = 30
            button.frame.size.width = 30

            button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonAction(texte:newI)), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)
            XIBMenu?.stackMenuIco.addArrangedSubview(button)

        }

and my function :

            func buttonAction(texte: String) {
                print("Okay with \(texte)")
            }

When I remove the parameter 'texte', it's working. The buttons are well added to the stack but I need that parameter to pass a variable. I get a buildtime error : 

Argument of '#selector' does not refer to an '@objc' method, property, or initializer

Yes thank you XCode I know that it's not an objc method, because I'm coding in swift!

Anyone knows a way around ?
