#EndSARS Protests Wouldn’t Have Succeeded Without Entertainers – Abubakre

Canada based Nigerian singer, Ayola Abubakre, has hailed entertainers for their roles in making the #EndSARS protests a success. He said, “Entertainers had a big part to play in the recent #EndSARS protests and i think it would not have been successful without them. The youth of today, known as the social media generation, look up to entertainers as leaders, thus celebrities standing up for the protests made people have something they could relate to. And, that made it huge.” However, the Afrosoul artiste cautioned entertainers on their involvement in politics, as according to him, not all activists make good leaders. Abubakre identified 2Baba, Brymo and 9ice as musicians he looked up to. He said, “9ice influences my music a lot, especially because he does ‘identity’ music, which is also what I do.”
