2Face Cancelled Planned Protest
Less than 32hrs to the
commencement of the planned protest by the renowned artist 2face, the planned
protest has been cancelled. This action has left many Nigerians with unfathomable
shock as his supporters can’t really understand why it has been cancelled. However,
there have been allegations that the planned protest is being sponsored by
opposition party in Nigeria. So, the party in power really frowns at this plan.
The police released a statement that the protest has not been approved by the
police. So a lot has happened behind the scene. However, it is of interest to
note that these same people that are against this protest are the same people that
almost shut down the economy during Goodluck Ebele Jonathan administration. During
GEJ administration, Nigerians were
allowed to express their views on government policies any day and any time without
intimidation. But, today the reverse is case.
Furthermore, the
planned protests suppose to show or bring to the world the hardship and starvation
Nigerians are going through under this APC led Federal Government. Nigerians
are dying on daily basis but, APC is
busy doing nothing. There is no indication that president Mohamadu Buhari led
federal government will in the nearest future resolve this economic crisis. Therefore,
Nigerians are left to fate. The only action that would have let this government
know how bitter Nigerians are feeling about the policies of federal government
is this planned protest. Now they have succeeded in their usual way of intimidation
to stop the protest. Nigerians have no one to speak for them.
Democracy as people
know should have been government of the people by the people and for the
people. But today, Nigeria has given democracy a different definition-
Government of the few by the few and for the few. Therefore, if you are a Nigerian and you
support the view of this writer please just hit share and like!
