2baba, who
was seen as the ‘poster boy’ of the protest, shared a video on his Instagram
handle, on Saturday, February 4, where he announced the cancellation of the
planned protest due to security concerns and public safety consideration.
According to
the singer the protest is under serious threat of hijack by interests not
aligned with the ideals of the march.
Recall that
2baba lent his voice to the Enough is Enough group which packaged the protest
and several other celebrities had vowed to be present at different venues.
There had
been plans by the police in Lagos state to stop the peaceful march against the
President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, but a truce was reached on Friday,
February 3, and the security operatives will now serve as back up for the
people.
The federal
government had also insisted that it was not against the protest as citizens
have a right to association.
