Endbadgovernance: White Money addresses concerns about his ‘silence’ on protests

149

The former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) winner White Money has addressed those who have criticised him for not speaking out during the recent EndBadGovernance protests.

Since the protests began on Thursday, many Nigerians have taken to the streets to voice their opposition to the country’s extreme poverty and skyrocketing inflation.

The initiative, which goes by the hashtag #EndBadGovernance and is dubbed “10 Days of Rage,” has gained widespread attention.

Fans have reacted negatively to the strange silence that many celebrities have maintained since the protests started.

White Money faced criticism after posting a dance video on Instagram amid the protests.

In the comment section, some fans expressed disappointment with a user writing “Your mate de protest you de Zuzu de Zuzu”.

Another user wrote, “So you couldn’t use ur platform to drop even 1 line of remark to plead with the government to the masses or promote the hashtag. Continue.”

Reacting to the backlash on X, White Money said he is not responsible for the “people’s predicament”. He also said he never forced anyone to vote for him during his time on BBNaija.

He added that he “does not see himself as an activist and never will”.

“Fellow Nigerians, please I am not the cause of your current predicaments biko and I didn’t force anyone to vote for me during my season at the BBNaija house. It’s over three years now, let me breathe. Edakun 🙏,” he wrote.

“Finally, I am not an activist and will never be🙏#SAYNOTOBADGOVERNANCE.”
