APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe has called on Davido to retract his statement about Nigeria’s economy, insisting that Nigeria "made him." Igbokwe’s comments have sparked debate, with many Nigerians defending the musician’s right to speak out about the country’s struggles, highlighting ongoing economic challenges.
In response to Davido’s recent remarks about Nigeria’s economic struggles, APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe has urged the musician to retract his statement, insisting that Nigeria "made him." Davido, known for his critical stance on the nation’s issues, had openly addressed the country’s economic challenges, highlighting the urgent need for change.
Igbokwe, however, believes that Davido’s comments about Nigeria’s state of affairs are inappropriate, asserting that the country’s contributions to his success should be acknowledged. His response sparked reactions from Nigerians, with some defending the musician’s right to express his opinion, particularly in light of the country’s ongoing economic crisis. The debate centers on whether Davido's criticism reflects the reality of the nation's struggles or is merely an unjust condemnation of the government’s handling of the economy.
While some commentators argue that acknowledging the country’s problems is crucial for progress, others view Igbokwe’s reaction as an attempt to stifle freedom of expression.
