A few days ago 2face Idibia blasted past presidents and
Governors of Nigeria, saying that they had done nothing for Nigerians.
His comments won him a lot of praises from his fans, who
commended him for keeping it real and speaking the truth when others wouldn’t.
However, According to a report , the Nigerian singer,
songwriter and record producer rejected offer to run for political office, lost
N114 million during elections.
Its all started that at the just concluded general
elections, 2Face Idibia launched his “Vote Not Fight Campaign” an initiative
against election violence targeted at young Nigerians.
The campaign which is a 2Face Idibia Foundation initiative
took the music star on regional tours and grassroot engagements across the
country.
At the Grand Finale of the campaign which went down on
Tuesday, 19TH of May, 2015 in Lagos, 2Baba revealed that unlike other
entertainers who ran for office, he rejected an offer to contest for a House of
Representatives seat. He also disclosed that he rejected offers to perform at
shows (partisan and non-partisan), adding that this caused him to lose about N114
Million Naira ($570,000) in revenue.
