The APC Northern Musicians Forum have revealed, on Friday, that it
would not participate in the planned protest by Nigerian music icon,
2face which is being held to kick againt the alleged sufferings in
Nigeria.
Vanguard reports that the Chairman of the Forum, Haruna Ningi, who
made the remark at a media briefing in Kaduna, said that the protest was
different from the ideology of the forum.
He, however, agreed that Nigerians were suffering, but insisted
that the present administration met nearly an empty treasury and had to
increase savings, to get Nigerians out of the present situation.
Ningi urged Nigerians to be patient with the present
administration, adding that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
government would get the country out of the present difficulties.
“ There is hunger in the land and the president is going to
give us a life-saving change that our sufferings will not come back
again.
“But they need time for the change to come.”
Ningi debunked the claim that the forum was influenced by politicians.
“The president has integrity and will not pay any musician to sing for him.”
He said that the forum was meant to mobilise the electorate through
music at the grassroots to disseminate correct and factual information
on national challenges.
“Such songs in hard times will imbibe in the minds of common men that they have a role to play in the journey of change.”
