Ibom State Governor as the chief sponsor of the planned massive
nationwide protest being orchestrated by hip hop artiste, 2face against the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
The protest, planned to hold on Sunday, February 5, had in the last two
weeks generated much hue and cry with some Nigerian celebrities queuing
behind the move, while others had kicked against the intention.
But on Monday, a source revealed that 2face was being used as a stooge
to drive the protest aimed at smearing the Buhari-led Federal
Government.
This said former governor, now a Senator, has never hidden his love for
the ‘African Queen’ crooner and had in the past said to have showered
award winning musician with cash and gifts worth several millions of
naira.
It would be recalled that 2face and his wife, Annie Macaulay, in 2013,
were gifted two brand new Prado SUVs by this former governor as their
wedding gift which they graciously accepted.
2face has however, come under severe criticism by some fans who feel he
was silent during the previous administration where massive corruption,
lawlessness and poverty were the order of the day, with some concluding
that there was more behind the protest.
