Enough Is Enough coalition , one of the organizers of the demonstration has declared that despite the pronounced cancellation by 2face, the protest will still go on as planned. The group made this known in a statement released on social media.
“We respect @Official2baba’s security concerns but the marches in Lagos and Abuja will go ahead. #IstandwithNigeria #Onevoicenigeria “ The group urged Nigerians to come out en masse to register their anger and lack of confidence in the government, adding that the protest was aimed at bringing the suffering of the masses and the voiceless to the fore.
Popular filmmaker, Charles Novia has also expressed his dissatisfaction over the protest cancellation. According to him: ”It is a disappointment really that 2face was stared down over this February 6th demonstration. He’s done harm to his brand than good. When you find yourself trussed as a rallying point for a silent or voiceless people, you don’t back down after publicly accepting. I have never seen where a name became so apt ever to its bearer.2face! 2baba, this is ridiculous”, he added.
Another Nigerian entertainment icon, Seyi Law, comedian cum actor, has vowed to be part of the protest slated for tomorrow. He said, despite the fact that 2face has cancelled the protest, the demonstration will still be held without him.
