This is in spite of warning by the police that they will not allow the protest to hold. 2baba, as he is fondly called by fans, made his stand known on his Facebook page. According to him, the protest will go on as planned since it is meant to tell Nigerian leaders the need to ‘connect with the people’. He said: “I will not keep quiet. I’m just a musician with a point of view and the ear of my fans. “I have dedicated my time and resources to peace building, voter’s education towards peaceful elections and youth engagement in governance in Nigeria. “This match is about demanding that our leaders connect with all the people of Nigeria.” Meanwhile Enough-Is-Enough Nigeria (EiE), a civil society organization has disclosed that it will be backing the hip hop artist and other Nigerians in the planned protest and declared it has helped organize the protest. EiE and other civil society organizations have condemned the protest ban and the police’s decision to not provide security for the protesters. “The protest will go on as planned,” EiE confirmed in a tweet. The musician had earlier announced that he would lead a protest in Lagos on February 6 to express Nigerians’ disapproval of the federal government, particularly condemning its failure to alleviate the economic crisis facing the country. Lagos State Police Commisioner Fatai Owoseni, however, warned Mr. Idibia that hoodlums would “hijack” the protest and use it to disturb public peace and wreak havoc in the city. “We know that Tuface does not have the capacity to contain such a crowd and we will not fold our hands and watch while things go out of hand,” he said on Wednesday. Mr. Owoseni did not clarify who he suspected would “hijack” the protest. Regardless, he cancelled the event, proclaiming that it was in the interest of public safety to do so. *NAN And Other News Agencies For Adverts Inquiries, call 08033857245; To Receive News Updates, WhatsApp: 08083609209; To Publish Your Articles Or News Stories, Email editor@skytrendnews.com.
