Buhari and 2Face: A Weekend of Cancellations

Many Nigerians over the weekend were shocked by 2baba Idibia's cancellation of his protest and President Buhari's postponement of his homecoming. Azuka Onwuka explains what these connote for the two men and for Nigerians.

 

President Muhammadu Buhari and 2face Idibia

 

Popular hip-hop musician, Innocent Idibia, popularly known with the stage name, “2Face,” which he recently changed to “2Baba,” came under heavy criticism over the weekend when he announced that the protest against Nigeria’s dwindling economy, scheduled to hold on February 6, 2017, had been cancelled. Interest in the protest tagged “One Voice” had been building up for weeks, with government and security agencies issuing threats and condemnation against the planned protest.

 

 However, the musician, who became popular through his song, “African Queen,” shocked many on Saturday evening when he announced via his Instagram page, “Official2baba,” that he was cancelling the planned protest. In the video, he said as follows:

 

“Dear Nigerians, after due consultations, it has become clear that the #OneVoice Nigerian protest scheduled to hold in Lagos and Abuja on Monday the 6th of February is under serious threat of hijack by interests not aligned with our ideals. The point and intent I’m making is not worth the life of any Nigerian. It is a fact motivated by the need to demand a better deal for the ordinary Nigerian.

“I therefore announce the cancellation of the planned protest. We will share further information in due course.

“I appreciate the massive support and I am convinced that our voices have been heard.

“May God bless you all and may God bless Nigeria.”

 

If 2Baba had not announced that cancellation through a video, few people would have believed him. But the video made it clear that someone did not hack into his account. The announcement was seen as betrayal. There were allegations that he was threatened, blackmailed or induced to back out of the planned protest. Some pointed out that he acted in line with his name “2Face”: double face. Whatever was his reason, it was clear that that action would affect his rating in the eyes of his music fans for a while. If he comes out in the future to lead any campaign, many will not believe him. If he had not chickened out, he would have transformed from a music icon to a national crusader like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

 

Everybody knows that opposing the Federal Government in Nigeria is not child’s play, especially when it is led by someone who does not brook opposition. So 2Baba should have thought the protest through, weighed all the possibilities, including detention, threats, blackmail, abduction, physical harm, emotional torture, and even his death or the death of a member of his family or a protester. If he was convinced that he could bear any of such challenges, it was only then that he should have started such a campaign against the government.

 

What has worsened the image of 2Baba is the fact that in spite of his announcement,  the protest took place in different parts of the country as scheduled on Monday, February 6. Shortly after his announcement of the cancellation of the protest very late on Saturday, conveners of the protest promptly issued their own statements, announcing that the protest would go on as planned. They added that 2Baba was not the convener of the protest but was only co-opted as a celebrity to give traction to the planned protest.

 

Be that as it may, it bears pointing out that the way presidential aides and the police reacted to the build-up to the protest was disappointing. Nigeria is supposed to be a democracy. Protests are an integral part of democracy. True democratic nations and institutions like universities create parks or squares where people can gather to protest against or in support of any cause under the face of the earth. It is their right. It tells the government what the people want, and a proactive government starts solving the problem in time before it snowballs into a crisis.

 

On Sunday, another cancellation was announced. This time, it was from the Presidency. President Muhammadu Buhari, who went to the United Kingdom on a 10-day vacation, was scheduled to arrive on Sunday. Because of that expected date of arrival, 2Baba had last week announced that the protest would be shifted from February 5 to February 6, so that the President would be in the country during the protest.

 

However, a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Sunday stated that “The President had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning.” The statement added: “The notice has since been dispatched to the Senate President, and Speaker, House of Representatives. Mr. President expresses his sincere gratitude to Nigerians for their concern, prayers and kind wishes.”

 

Coming on the heels of rumours of the death of the President a week ago, that announcement about the indefinite postponement of his return, created waves across the country about the state of health of the President.

 

President Buhari is human, and humans can be ill. Since early 2015 when the campaign for the Presidency peaked, there have been insinuations that he is not of good health. In the one year and eight months of his reign so far, Buhari has gone on vacation three times abroad. Each time, the information about his vacations has not been managed well.

 

Those who use his age as an excuse do him incalculable injustice. At 74 years old, Buhari is not very old. Professor Wole Soyinka will be 82 years old on July 13.

 

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo will be 79 years old on March 5.

 

Mr Barack Obama’s Vice President, Mr Joe Biden, who left office last month, will be 75 years on November 20.

 

President Donald Trump will be 71 on June 14. These septuagenarians and octogenarians are agile. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe was some months away from 79 years old in 1983 during the campaign for the presidential election. Even though there were campaign materials mocking his age, there were no rumours about his health.

 

If there is a medical condition that Buhari has, his compatriots need to know, to avoid regular rumours and uncertainty over his health. The more rumours arise about his health, the more difficult it becomes for him to turn around the nation, because there will be uncertainty and caution over the unknown.

 

However, it should be noted by those who wish the President dead that wishing him dead cannot kill him. Nobody has any control over when another person will die. Nobody knows who will die first between the old and the young or between the strong and the weak. But that there are people wishing the President dead should send a message to him. There are families who are mourning because their relatives were shot dead by security operatives over a protest or rally, and President Buhari has shown through his words and actions that he endorses such killings. There are families who have been wiped out by the repeated invasions of Fulani herdsmen across the nation. Then, there are families who have been thrown into hopelessness and hunger because of the mismanagement of the economy under the watch of Buhari. These classes of people will definitely not be happy with Buhari. There are also those who hope to benefit politically by the demise of the President.

 

However, Buhari can learn something from the man who founded the Nobel Prize. As a result of mistaken identity, Alfred Nobel read his own obituary in the newspapers. The media celebrated his “death,” labelling him the “merchant of death”. It touched him deeply and made him to set up the Nobel Prize with his money, which changed the image of Alfred Nobel forever. Once Buhari returns, let him start rebuilding and uniting the nation by extending true love and justice to all sections of the country. Let him drop his ineffectual economic policies and seek pragmatic ways to revive the economy, so that history will be kind to him.

The 2Face March - By Charly Boy

Read his piece below...

I no just understand my people some times. Some people go sidon dey look Uche face, dey dulling and the few wey wan do something weather our condition go fit better, na so we go dey yab dem, dey stone dem. I just tire when I read some useless tweets and updates about Tuface. 

As a Fada, e no go nice if I just sidon make some guys dey fuckup, dey miss yarn because dem Mumu never Do. 

Have we not suffered Enough? 

Are we not Hungry Enough? 

Has Corruption not crippled our People enough?

Has Political Criminality not damaged our Morality enough? 

Wetin remain again, no be to enter street?

If some can't see the sense in the march Tuface is organizing why must they insist on exposing their ignorance on our social highway. If him like make e get 7 kids with 3 babymamas, what has that got to do with the price of garri in the market?

Has TuFace not been actively involved in the demand for good governance before now? So why is it that he has ulterior motives now.

Until we fraustrated Nigerians begin to stand up and fight for good governance at all Level, we go soon chop sand sand. 

I am from Oguta in Imo State; I am doing my little bit in empowering the youths, Mothers, Market Women and Disadvantaged people who have no access to a simple normal life. I am also using the Njiko Carnival under The Justice Oputa Foundation to promote not just the historical heritage of the Oguta people, but also the Magnificent Oguta Blue Lake and environs as a tourisim hub in Nigeria, most times with my money. Yet, some people go dey cause me, some just dey like read meanings into my action like say dem dey my mind. But una know say I no send anybody.

We could never have sank this low if it wasn't for our inactions, our docility and our Mumuness. 

I support mass mobilisation, mass movement, citizen advocacy, the fight, struggle for a better country and the drive to Emancipate the mind of Nigerians.  I Believe that is what my guy Tuface Idibia wants too.  So we must all commot.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

We are stronger when many speak together as one voice.

We are stronger when we think in the same direction

we are stronger when we project our common values

we are stronger when we are oblivious of tribe/religion in our decision making.

Anyhow, anywhere any day I go show, because Na our future we they fight for. Since last year me and some exceptional nigerian youths are also putting together The Mother of all rally's to be held in Abuja. We must see the end of this nonsense.

Pikin wey say him mama no go rest, him too no go sleep. We they come, them go know how far. Am calling on all celebrities wey get mouth to speak out and fall out. Everybody wey dey fraustrated with this country must show, enough is enough.

I believe that the biggest  threat to governance in Nigeria are the criminal Governors; their stooges at the local government level. The Nigerian National Assembly that is forever breaking Laws instead of making them and the Judiciary where Justice is now for the Highest Bidder. Una go hearam,

The many agencies under the Executive like the CBN; NNPC; RMAFC; Finance and others need to be pressured to introduce accountability into governance. So we all must begin to face those Governor who have Collected Several Bailouts from the Federal Government and Looted them; Those Governors who are taking Security Votes and Looting them; Those Governors who go to the Ministry of Finance Monthly to Collect FAAC Allocations and Loot them; Those Governors who are Refusing to Pay Salaries but have no Problem Chartering Private Jets worth Tens of Millions of Naira. 

We must stop hailing the Corrupt and destroyers of our Dreams; We must Expose and ridicule them. We must be audacious in our Demands; we must be Fearless in our Agitation and we must be ready to sacrifice for this Country. Nothing will happen unless we change this our Mumu mindset that has rendered us hopeless.

The divisive politics that we play, is our Enemy; The Nigerian People are the Victim and it is time to channel our anger towards a Peaceful Revolution. We must stop being the victims and become THE FEAR.

If our yeye Leaders no fear us, change no go come.

Very soon they will no longer be able to enjoy all that stolen money in this country again. 

God punish bad people.
