2BABA
NOT MOVED BY BEING CALLED ‘COWARD’
Popular
artiste, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2BABA says he is glad that he
spoke out despite eventually backing off a planned anti-government protests on
Monday.
2BABA
was to lead nationwide demonstrations against economic crisis, but announced
its cancellation hours before the scheduled march.
He
cited “security concerns” after police warned him against going ahead with the
demonstrations.
The
protests went on nonetheless in Lagos, Abuja and Uyo, led by civil society
groups and activists.
In
an Instagram video post on Tuesday via his official handle @official2baba,
Tuface said, “I watched with tears how Nigerians defied all odds to protest
with #istandwithNigeria, it has shown that no voice is bigger than the other
whether that of 2baba, security men or even any other person”.
He
reacted to criticisms that have trailed his decision to back out at the last
minute, saying he was unfazed by being branded a “coward” by some.
“I
have read several opinions including being called a coward but I can say that I
am glad that I am a coward who spoke up and will continue to speak up,” he
said.
2BABA
paid tributes to Nigerians who braved police threats and all odds to take part
in the protests.
“I
am glad you all lent your voice out when I lost my own, you guys were the true
heroes,” he said.
