You Don’t Need a Celebrity to Fight for you…RMD Speaks on Protest

Veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe Damijo, is currently not in the country and he has decided to air his view on the recently held protest.

The actor while speaking on the issue stated that for 2face pulling out of the protest should not be an issue as people do not need celebrities to fight for them.

RMD stressed that he is a Nigerian and as such would have joined the protest if he was around but not as a celebrity but as a common man just like every other person who is also faced with same challenges.

According to him, “On a more serious note, I respect the two men in this picture with me. @aycomedian for consistently making smart choices in the comedy movie business and @official2baba for being not just a talented artist but more importantly a humble and fine gentleman and let me dare say that #IStandWithNigeria and #IStandWithTubaba because you do not need a celebrity to give you voice or make you take a stand against issues that directly affect you. I'm not in Nigeria and if I were I probably would have been a part of the protest, not as a celebrity but as a Nigerian who is experiencing the same issues as every other Nigerian but hey, thankfully, I don't need to be in the streets to register my protest, so again, MY NAME IS RICHARD MOFE-DAMIJO AND I STAND WITH NIGERIA."
