Legendary actor, Richard Mofe Damejo and a Commedian Ayo Makun aka AY have expressed love and support for Innocent Idibia, popularly called 2Baba, over the recently concluded nationwide protest tagged #IStandWithNigeria.
It is no more news that Nigerians have criticized 2Face for backing out of the #IStandWithNigeria protest that took place yesterday.
RMD writes@official2baba Thank you for being not just a talented artist but more importantly a humble and fine gentleman and let me dare say that @IStandWithNigeria and #IStandWithTubaba because you do not need a celebrity to give you voice or make you take a sta nd against issues that directly affect you. I’m not in Nigeria and if I were I probably would have been a part of the protest, not as a celebrity but as a Nigerian who is experiencing the same issues as every other Nigerian but hey, thankfully, I don’t need to be in the streets to register my protest, so again, MY NAME IS RICHARD MOFE-DAMIJO AND I STAND WITH NIGERIA.
Ayo Makun also said, “I have spent all day reading over 7,000 comments concerning the mixed feelings of Nigerians on the cancellation of the February 6 protest against the Federal Government by Innocent Idibia. As a friend, let me feed Nigerians with a simple fact that @official2baba was never afraid to raise his voice for honesty, truth and compassion for the common man in the phase of the present economic situation in Nigeria.
“You all can say whatever you want to say about him, but you must note that it is impossible for him alone to change things by fighting an existing reality that did not start from the present government. For Change to occur, we must collectively come up with a strategy that will make any existing model that is not working obsolete.
“What most of you do not know or understand is that disobedience to the rule of law has its own implication, even when you believe in your ‘freedom of speech or action’. ”
He the concluded that Nigerians should join him in celebrating a man who has always been an advocate of peaceful governance, a man who was never consumed by the sin of silence and become a coward, a patriot who was bold enough to ask for the change we were promised, whether you like it or not.punch
