#OneVoiceNigeria: I am happy to be a coward Says Tuface

The 41-year-old who backed out of a planned protest at the eleventh hour said all those who lent their voices to the protest to speak up against the ills of the nation were the real heroes. Tuface had cited security concerns as the reason he backed out of the march after the Police warned him against going ahead with the rally.

However, the protest went on in major cities like Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan and other places.

Tuface said, “I watched with tears how Nigerians defied all odds to protest with #istandwithNigeria, it has shown that no voice is bigger than the other whether that of 2baba, security men or even any other person,” Tuface said in a video posted on his official Instagram page on Tuesday.

"I have read several opinions including being called a coward but I can say that I am glad that I am a coward who spoke up and will continue to speak up…I am grateful for everybody that lent their voice when I lost mine. You were the real heroes.”
