A group, 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.
News
Agency of Nigeria report continues:
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.
Mr.
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.”
Mr.
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.”
