Innocent Ujah Idibia aka Tuface, last Monday, called on Nigerians to join him in a massive nationwide protest against the policies introduced by the present government that has done nothing but increased the woes of the suffering masses.
The protest is slated to hold on 5th of February and several entertainers have made public their support and presence for the protest. Among those showing vibrant support for Tuface include, Davido, Burnaboy, Charly Boy, I go Dye and Daddy Showkey.
According to I go Dye
“Social movement and societal development requires certain actions and inaction. The planned protest is a step in the right direction. Our leadership class in both political and religious circles have failed to defend the weak in our midst. The policies of the government have not been of any benefit to the common man; hence there is a great need to reawaken that consciousness in our minds,letting them know that people are suffering in the midst of surplus on the part of the various forms of government:executives, legislators and the judiciary. They is a deliberate attempt by the elites to decide our children’s children’s future by inflicting untold hardship on us. What is the price that any of them have paid as a national sacrifice?” “They enjoy over estimated allowances, bogus pension as past legislators, governors and presidents at the expense of millions of jobless youths. Our leaders have failed us. It’s high time we speak out since our traditional, religious and political leaders are all in one accord,benefiting from our collective resources. I stand for the truth, monkey dey work babboo dey chop .It is a pitiful situation that we pray everyday but a few minority of elites have kept us in perpetual stagnancy and bondage. The time to continually speak is now,I stand with Tuface,”
Anyway, some entertainers seemed very unpleased with Tuface's planned protest, one of which is Innocent's former bandmate, Blackface. He described Tuface's action as an illiterate act and Tuface being a very promiscuous man should face the affairs of his home before trying to solve Nigeria's problem.
Comedian Bovi has also indicated that he will not be present for the planned protest. Many have pointed fingers at former Cross River state Governor, Senator Godswill Akpabio as the brain behind Tuface's protest, a report he denied through his spokesman, Aniete Ekong.
