Nigerian Musician, P-Square, has responded to a call for his arrest by an APC youth group over his comment on the plans by the Nigerian government to discourage production of Nigerian movies and music abroad.
Some youths under the aegis of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Youth renaissance group had called for the arrest of Nigerian twin-singer P-Square 'for disrespecting' the federal government on it purported move to ban production of music shot overseas
The federal government on Saturday said it has taken steps to amend the Nigeria Broadcasting Code to discourage the production of Nigerian movies and music outside the country.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohamed, said the situation had hampered empowerment of practitioners in the industry, the development of the sector and the nation’s economy in general.
The minister’s statement, however, drew criticism from some Nigerians who asked him to first address the issue of government officials going for medical treatment abroad before attempting to sanitise the movie industry.
Peter Okoye, one of the P-Square twin, has said the government ought to be grateful to entertainers for putting Nigeria in a good light despite the shame public officials allegedly bring upon the country.
“Dear FG, for your information! All the Shame way una dey bring for dis our country na we dey entertainers dey cover una Nash! Ndi ala” he tweeted
