Meanwhile on February 3, she tweeted this:
She has been criticizing the Buhari government a lot recently. Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili also lashed out at the President Muhammadu Buhari administration accusing it of making wrong economic decision and still standing by them.
The co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls group in a chat with The Interview said she was not comfortable with the economic policies of the Buhari administration so far.
Reno Omokri also Reacted through twitter:
A DAILY POST reporter revealed that his mother, Mrs. Rose Idibia was behind the cancellation of the protest.
An insider hinted that 2face’s mum who doubles as Vice Principal at Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi Abuja warned his son to hands off the protest.
“His mum was behind the cancellation of the protest. She was angry because 2baba (Innocent) never asked for her opinion before he went on air to announce the protest. His mother summoned him and asked him to call it off because he has nothing to gain from it, rather he would buy enemies for himself,” the source said.
