I Will No Longer Be Quiet: Excerpts from 2Face's address to the nation

I have dedicated my time and resources to peace building, voter education towards peaceful elections and youth engagement in governance in Nigeria. I am just a musician with a point of view and the ear of my fans.
This march is about encouraging positive minded Nigerians to continue to work without intimidation. It is about demanding that all saboteurs of good government policies should hands off.
The people have hoped for a better Nigeria since 1999 but things are not getting any better for the majority. We are still where we are – poor and desperate. I will be no longer be quiet.

I want to thank my partners. This time around, my partners, colleagues and I have come together to present a platform for real Nigerians to communicate their real pains to government at all levels in a peaceful and articulate manner with a view to getting lasting solutions to our problems.
We have a system that is clearly designed not to work for the majority. What is this march not about? It is not a platform for politicians of any party to manipulate. I know you will still spin it but for one second leave your battles aside and just listen to people without trying to score cheap political points against one another.
It is not a point scoring exercise. It is certainly not personal. It is not an organized labour platform. With all due respect to our comrades who have done much for Nigeria, this march is for the unrepresented.
It is not a ‘my religion or tribe is better than yours’ matter. All our blood is red. I, Innocent Idibia, am a living example of a Nigerian who owes their success to Nigerians of every tribe and religion. None ask what religion or tribe I am before supporting me. I am grateful.
On Monday, February 6, meet me at the National Stadium at 8AM and we’ll walk to the National Theatre – 2 national icons that epitomize our decline – as we state clearly and peacefully that#IStandWithNigeria and Nigeria must work for all of us and all of us must work for Nigeria."
