Popular Nigerian comedian, Gordons has attacked Tuface Idibia over the planned protest. The comedian says that Tuface got it wrong when he tried to protest by marching.

Gordons used the examples of other music legends of Nigeria to illustrate his point. The comedian said they all impacted hugely in their struggle against oppressive or under-performing governments, by employing the tool they were familiar with, music.
While speaking in an interview with HipTv, he said:
“2face is my mentor when it comes to music. He is one musician I adore, legendary to me. But you cannot use a tool that you are not used to
“When Fela was fighting government, he used a tool that he was used to, that was music. Then Osayomore Joseph in Benin city, fought government and used a tool he was used to. Sunny Okosuns before he died was fighting for freedom with the tool that he was used to.

“How on earth would 2face be fighting a fight that he is not used to. 2face is not a politician, he is a musician. If he wants to lead a protest, he should lead with music. “How are you going to express yourself 2face when microphone is right in your face and you are asked to express your grievance and the reason why you are protesting? You can’t express yourself, it’s not your game. Do it with music you are used to. 2face is the only illiterate who can sing correctly.”
Meanwhile, following the cancellation of his planned participation in the protest, some said it was because he was arrested and tortured by the Department of State Services (DSS) and others feel it was because he just didn’t want to be responsible for whatever would have happened at the venue of the protests.
But whatever the reason, 2baba spoke out. He said via his Facebook page that he wasn’t arrested by the DSS.
