Few hours ago the musician tweets were still strongly in support of the protest
See the video before he cancelled the protest below

Several Nigerians have however taken to social media to express their disappointment at the sudden U-TURN with many suggesting that he was threatened by the Buhari-led government, while others believed he was bribed.
I don't blame the guy. Our former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan then said that no blood of any Nigerian worth his re-election bid and he willingly announced the acceptance of the result, so what 2baba did was not out place. Some people will die, some will be maimed and the same you people will turn back and blame him for organizing such a protest because for sure, the thing must be hijacked just to tarnish his image. Like I said earlier, you can't rise against Nigerian maffians and remain the same after. So pls folks, don't blame him that much. He is the only person who can tell you what he seen since he announced the protest. He is not a politician, he never looted any fund, His wealth was God given and am sure you won't want efcc, Dss and the likes to be sent after him after that. Or have you forgotten the era we found ourselves in?
ReplyDeleteI put it to all the people blaming 2 baba for backing out that they all coward, if 2face backed out you guys should continue with the protest tomorrow, is dere any freedom in naija now?no freedom of gathering, no freedom of expression etc.APC and buhari has clamped down down on press and even on social media,it is sad. 2 baba thank you for even have the boldness and the courage to awake our spirit and to let the whole world knows dis government incompetency and abuse of human right.
