Nigerians are suffering but we'll not join Tuface-led protest — APC Musicians Forum
The APC Northern Musicians Forum
on Friday said it would not participate in the planned protest by Nigerian
music icon, Tuface Idibia, over alleged sufferings in Nigerian.
Haruna Ningi, Chairman of the
Forum, who made the remark at a media briefing in Kaduna, said that the protest
was different from the ideology of the forum.
He, however, agreed that
Nigerians were suffering, but insisted that the present administration met
nearly an empty treasury and had to increase savings, to get Nigerians out of
the present situation.
Ningi urged Nigerians to be
patient with the present administration, adding that the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led government would get the country out of the present difficulties.
“ There is hunger in the land and
the president is going to give us a life-saving change that our sufferings will
not come back again.
“But they need time for the
change to come.”
Ningi debunked the claim that the
forum was influenced by politicians.
“The president has integrity and
will not pay any musician to sing for him.”
He said that the forum was meant
to mobilize the electorate through music at the grassroots to disseminate
correct and factual information on national challenges.
“Such songs in hard times will
imbibe in the minds of common men that they have a role to play in the journey
of change.”
