‘The Protest Will go on!’ – EiE Nigeria Speaks Up After 2baba Idibia Cancelled Anti-Buhari Protest
EiE Nigeria has announced that the scheduled protest set to hold in Lagos and Abuja on February 6 will still go on.
This announcement comes hours after legendary singer 2baba Idibia took to his Instagram to explain why he is cancelling the march on grounds that it was hijacked. According to the singer, the protest is under threat of being hijacked, a conflict that started after a pro-Buhari faction announced its own protest on same day, at same venues.
“After due consultations, it has become clear that the One Voice Nigerian protest scheduled to hold in Lagos, Abuja on Monday 6, February, is under serious threat of hijack by interests not aligned with our ideals,” 2baba said.
But EiE Nigeria insists on continuing with the march. On Twitter, the organisation urged Nigerians to troop out and make their voices heard.
“We respect @official2baba‘s security concerns but the marches in #Lagos & #Abuja will go ahead,” it tweeted, and in another post, announced the venues where the rallies will kick off.
