‘ Shut Up, You Are A Son Of Darkness ’ – APC Slams Peter Okoye Of P - square For Insulting Federal Government On Ban For Shooting Videos Abroad posted by babatunde
dragged out by music artists and the Federal Government on the
impending ban on music video being shot abroad, the All
Progressives Congress(APC) youth renaissance group has fired a
stinker at Peter Okoye of P-square for insulting the Federal
government of Nigeria.
This comes after Peter Okoye had slammed the intentions of the
Federal Government through the ban, referring to it as ‘shameful‘.
Replying Peter Okoye’s condemnation of the ban, Mr Collins
Edwin, the group national secretary of the APC youth group in a
statement made available to PoliticsNGR, referred to Peter Okoye
as a ‘son of darkness’ and urged security agencies to arrest the
musician for comments alleged slander and defamation of
character.
Read the full statement blow:
Mr Peter Okoye of the Psquare group against the
Federal Government’s job-saving policy in the
entertainment industry with great anger and
vexation.
Least of all persons to make scathing remark
against the government is the Psquare group
which the local content policy of the Federal
Government dusted-up from the valley of
obscurity.
Where was Peter Okoye or Psquare brand in 1999
when foreign music dominated our airwaves? If
not for the government policy which mandated all
broadcast stations in Nigeria to pay attention to
Nigerian music by playing 95 percent of Nigerian
songs every day, would Peter Okoye or Psquare be
known to anybody in Nigeria today? Or would
they have competed with better American music
which dominated our airwaves then?
After the government have used its policy to brush
them up from nothing to something; instead of
giving opportunity to other people, they are taking
Nigerian jobs to foreign countries through the
shooting of music videos abroad.
Now that government have intervened to raise
great and better entertainers again, Peter Okoye
has the gut to insult the entire Federal
Government by calling our great leaders ‘Ndi Ala’
which means mad and stupid people. How dare
you say that Psquare?
We, therefore, urge the security agencies in the
country to arrest Mr Peter Okoye for disrespecting
our government and bringing it to a disrepute. If
you cannot produce in Nigeria and hire Nigerians,
then leave the industry.
We must export Nigerian culture to the outside
world through our music and videos.
