Professor Akindele Adetoye, whose Facebook note criticized 2baba’s Idibia’s plan to march against the Buhari administration, has finally apologized.
In his earlier rant, the Obafemi Awolowo University academic called the legendary singer a ‘bloody illiterate’ and dragged him for having multiple children with different women, a factor he had cited as what makes 2baba unfit to lead a protest march.
“Have you governed your own personal life?” Prof. Adetoye had added.
But the academic has suddenly mellowed, and this comes hours after 2baba Idibia released a video explaining further why he wants to march and informed Nigerians that the protest will hold on February 6, the same day that President Buhari is expected to resume office after his 10-day leave.
The singer also used that opportunity to address claims that he is being sponsored by Senator Godswill Akpabio, an unfounded claim heaped on him by media house, PM News.
Now, Professor Adetoye is all up on his social media, apologising for his unkind statements, adding that he has realised how much 2baba loves this nation.
“In hindsight, I believe I was indeed harsh. I believe I am wrong to have come at him in the manner in which I did. He’s in love with our nation like I am and like the rest of us. It was in finding a lasting remedy to our national malaise that I believe my passion took the best of me, and it was in that regard that I erred.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this, everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry…
