didn't you lead a protest against these governors who mismanaged the
Buhari bailout funds and the Paris Club refund money? Why did you not
protest against GEJ's looting of N51 trillion naira and the Godswill
Akpabio alleged looting of over N1 trillion naira from the Akwa Ibom
state treasury for which he is being prosecuted by the EFCC? Why didn't
you protest Akpabio's alleged corrupting of a Supreme Court justice who
is currently being tried for corrupt practices on the bench? Is it
because you are a corruption apologist?" he asked.

with 2baba over the protest. She said "When people ask me why I joined
politics, I tell them from the truest of my heart that it is because I
got tired of how things were being done in my country. It’s not enough
for us to protest, it’s more important for us, youths of this beloved
nation, to get involved in governance. You could try many times before
you achieve it.”

For comedian Bovi, the fact that he wouldn’t be there doesn’t mean he doesn’t support the protest. He wrote via Instagram: “Boycott
is too strong a word to describe my not attending. I won’t be there.
Simple. It doesn’t define whether I support it or not. I am not joining
the protest, and stop saying ‘we’ and ‘us.’ You don’t belong…..my life
is not governed by your opinions of me."
5. Stella Damasus

Actress Stella Damasus shared her reason via Facebook live saying she would rather spend her time on more important things than a protest.
"That
time I will use to protest and talk, I will use it to do something good
for the people I can help. Before protesting anything, you have to have
a clear focus,” she said.
