Professor Akindele Adetoye who some days ago, wrote an 'embarrassing' article
against legendary Nigerian singer, 2face Idibia popularly called 2baba
over his plan to embark on a nationwide strike come February, has issued
an apology to the artiste.
Adetoye who said he went out of order had blasted 2baba deriding
him and ridiculing his personal life, even calling him an illiterate.
The article was met with backlash as Nigerians insulted Adetoye for
bringing 2baba's personal life in focus when issues of national
importance was being discussed.
Some labeled Adetoye a disgrace who does not know where to pitch his tent, a man who used his education for a useless purpose.
“You are a bloody illiterate. You had sex with all manners of
girls without using condoms. You impregnated them and made babies all
over the place. You now want to lead protest against the government
because of lack of governance! Have you governed your own personal life?
Charity, they say begins at home. Nonsense!” a part of the article read.
Following the social media backlash, Adetoye has issued an apology as he admitted that he let himself down with the article.
Read what he wrote below: "Good day brethren, I put up an
update yesterday that incurred the wrath of some of my friends and the
population at large for what some considered its harshness to another
member of the Nigerian community.
"In hindsight I believe I was indeed harsh. I believe I am
wrong to have come at him in the manner in which I did. He's in love
with our nation like I am and like the rest of us. It was in finding a
lasting remedy to our national malaise that I believe my passion took
the best of me, and it was in that regard that I erred.
"I apologize for that and I apologize to those whom my update
affected in any manner. I was wrong and I am sorry. Thank you and God
bless you all."
