According to report by PM News, investigations on Monday revealed a
former Akwa Ibom State Governor as the chief sponsor of the planned
massive nationwide protest being orchestrated by hip
hop artiste,
Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face against the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
The protest, planned to hold on Sunday, February 5, had in the last
two weeks generated much hue and cry with some Nigerian celebrities
queuing behind the move, while others had kicked against the intention.
The Benue-born had taken to his Instagram page to confirm that the protest will hold as scheduled.
But on Monday, a source revealed that 2face was being used as a
stooge to drive the protest aimed at smearing the Buhari-led Federal
Government.
This said former governor, now a Senator, has never hidden his love for
the ‘African Queen’ crooner and had in the past said to have showered
award winning musician with cash and gifts worth several millions of
naira.
It would be recalled that 2face and his wife, Annie Macaulay, in
2013, were gifted two brand new Prado SUVs by this former governor as
their wedding gift which they graciously accepted.
2face has however, come under severe criticism by some fans who feel
he was silent during the previous administration where massive
corruption, lawlessness and poverty were the order of the day, with some
concluding that there was more behind the protest.
“2face should come out clean and tell Nigerians the real reason
behind this protest rather than hiding under the guise of clamouring for
good governance. Where was he during Chief Olusegun Obasanjo era? Where
was he when Goodluck Jonathan and his men were ripping Nigeria off?
“If he is not careful, this move might just signal the beginning of
the end of his musical career. He is threading on a path where he is a
complete novice,” the source said.
