As
news spreads out about the cancellation of the national protest
initially set to be led by pop star 2face, a press release on the matter
has emerged.
2face Idibia
Read the statement from Coalition in Defence of Nigerian Democracy and Constitution (CDNDC) 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.
Consequently, in the exact opposite of what our brother, 2Face said; “Dear
Nigerians, due to stomach insecurity and bad governance consideration,
we hereby announce the continuation of the march as scheduled – on
Monday, February 6, 2017."
#IStandWithNigeria is a #NigerianProject
