Nigerian music star 2face Idibia today January 25, 2017, has revealed plans to lead a protest against bad governance.
According to him, the Nigerian government has failed its people leading the country into an economic downturn.
Read his call to action below:
"FIRST MASSIVE NATIONWIDE PROTESTS ON THE 5TH OF FEBRUARY, 2017.
A call for good governance.
A call for urgent explanation into the reckless economic downturn nationwide.
A call for nationwide protests as we say No to the Executive, No to legislatures, No to judiciary... You have all failed us.
We
the people are tired. We can no longer continue with all of you. All
your excuses and mistakes are not funny. We do not wish to continue with
a system and government that is not working but afflicting the people.
We the people of this country not living under the privileges of
government allowances and remuneration have now accepted to take the
bull by the horn to come out and protest this obnoxious and baseless
policy and excuses of the government of the day.
Where are the recovered looted funds?
Why
do we still have the executive arms and legislatures still enjoying
their salaries and allowances while we hear there's no money to pay
workers?
Why do we still see ceaseless power failures with no explanation and hope of getting out of it unlike before?
Why
do we keep seeing peace talks in Niger Delta, Fulani herdsmen and ipob
without any solutions being reached, while the strategies keep
aggravating the people involved as political leaders stage forums to
extort funds in the name of addressing their subjects?
Why
did we have petrol price rise to 145 for the sake of global oil price
crash and removal of subsidy but such price is still being maintained
despite significant re-awakening of the oil price from $30/barrel to
$56/barrel?
Who is to be held accountable
for the sudden and continuous hike in price of commodities in the
market, where for the first time in history, Nigeria is suddenly selling
kerosene at 400 naira per litre as against 50 naira per litre, diesel
at 300 naira per litre as against 100 naira per litre and petrol from 87
naira to 145 naira? Yet maintaining the same systems, environment and
maybe a lesser money spending government.
There's
need for Nigerians to rise against what is happening in this country
having waited patiently for the legislatures that were elected to
represent the people all to no avail."
