Idibia who rescheduled his planned protest from the 5th
February, 2017 against Nigeria’s Federal Government to 6th has continue
to received lash backs from some critics close to the helm of affairs and the
#istandwithbuhari group.
But
that has not dampened his spirit as that of his fans and well-wishers who have
insisted that no security nor criticism would hinder them from carrying out a
peaceful protest especially as this government was also the brain of a peaceful
protest before they came to power.
2face
was recently called out by a professor who challenged his integrity calling him
a womaniser adding that he has no moral right to protest. But the reactions
that followed the statement prompted the so-called professor to tender an
unreserved apology to the music icon who has insisted that come rain come
shine, the nationwide protest will go on.
According to the official statement, 2Face said that “Since the idea of a
nationwide march was first mentioned, the need for urgent solutions to the
challenges facing Nigerians has become very clear. The people have hoped for a
better Nigeria since 1999 but things are not getting any better for the
majority.
“We
are still where we are – poor and desperate. I will no longer be quiet. I have
dedicated my time and resources to peace building, voters education towards
peaceful elections and youth engagement in governance in Nigeria. This time
around, my partners, colleagues and I have come together to present a platform
for real Nigerians to communicate their real pains to government at all levels
in a peaceful and articulate manner with a view to getting lasting solutions to
our problems,” he explained.
Recently
the SSA to the president on social media has been castigating 2face since he
made his intention known to protest. What followed was her picture which
emanated from social media where she belong and her previous demonstration
during the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, where she was seen
with two other women holding a placard with the inscription” #140 per litre,
more like 419.’ This prompted commentators to quiz her why she is scared of a
protest from 2Baba.
Also
his Plantazion Boiz band mate, Blackface also reigned abuses on 2Face calling
him names for wanting to protest. It didn’t take time for the artiste to be put
in his place while other say he is trying to seek for attention as his musical
career is nowhere to be found.
The #Istandwithbuhari group are ready for a showdown come 6th of February, because it seems , 2Face and those behind him are not ready to back out.
