Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu, has hit out at conspiracy theories over the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests around Nigeria.
In a tweet on Friday, Momodu insisted that “nobody instigated anyone or anything.”
The media guru also absolved the Igbo of any blame during his conversation with a ‘Tinubu apologist.’
Momodu wrote: “This unfortunate conspiracy theory was forwarded to me this morning by a Tinubu apologist. Here’s my response: It is all a cheap blackmail. The people are hungry while government is living large.
“The Igbo are largely traders. They look after their own globally. Nobody instigated anyone or anything.
“You guys should accept the reality that Tinubu has not done very well. Leave the Igbo out of your excuses. To ethnicise the protests is to be disingenuous…”
