Nigerians were shocked yesterday, as one of the conveners of the National Protest, tagged “One Voice”, Mr Innocent Idibia, aka, 2Face or 2Baba, while in the Directorate of Secret Services (DSS) detention under duress read out a prepared Note stating the cancellation of the February 6, 2017 protest. The National protest against the Muhammadu Buhari’s draconian administration and out-of-date economic policies that crashed the Nigerian economy and ushered in an untold hardship was initiated by Nigerian, while Mr Idibia was only co-opted into it just days ago.
2Face Idibia made Video while under DSS Custody.
While Nigerians have ignored Mr Idibia’s video messages, they are frantically warming up for the February 6th Protest. It should be noted that the Nigerian Pop Musician while in the custody of the DSS was warned not to communicate to friends until the secret police are satisfied that the planned protest is botched. Hope For Nigeria can confirm that the Musician has just been released and he promised to be using his position in the social media to ensure that there will not be any protest on the 6th of February, 2017.
According to Hope For Nigeria, a statement released by the Coalition In Defence Of Nigerian Democracy and Constitution (CDNDC), announced that the protest must go on as planned.
The release signed by Ariyo-Dare Atoye one of the Co-Conveners is as below:-
*Cancellation of #IStandWithNigeria rally is not true:* ..
*The National Protest was never about 2Face, we are marching on against bad governance.* .
*Our attention has been drawn to news making the rounds that the National-Protest-March slated for Monday, February 6, 2017 has been canceled by Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2Face.* .
*This is not true and not the consensus of Nigerians, majority of fellow planners and not a true reflection of the sincere plan to organize this rally in public interest.* .
*We wish to inform Nigerians and the world at large that this protest against bad governance and hunger was never about 2Face or any individual for that matter. Let it be known that Mr. Idibia merely keyed into an ongoing public discourse over this protest to take a lead. It was never his singular idea but the concerns of the suffering masses. *Therefore, we wish to inform concerned Nigerians and the international community that there is a national and public consensus for this protest to hold as scheduled in all venues.*
*There are hundreds of groups and thousands of Nigerians who are leading this initiative and we will not back down.* . *This is the time to separate real activists from emergency activists. Emergency activists seek mortality with the fear of man, while revolutionists and real activists seek immortality with the fear of God.*
