Veteran singer, Daddy Showkey has come out to blast Niger State Governor, Umaru Mohammed Bago for calling on security operatives to shave off the hair of any man seen wearing dreadlocks. He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, even if he recently had it in mind to visit Minna, after the governor’s strange directive, they would have to hold on to their state.
Showkey added that the governor shouldn’t forget to shave off his own bushy beard while calling for men’s dreadlocks to be shaved.
Recall that Governor Mohammed has since come out to say that his words were misconstrued, and he was only referring to hooligans in the state.
His words, “Yesterday, we read a riot act on hooliganism, and people misconstrued our words for people who have dreadlocks. We don’t have a problem with dreadlocks, but we have a problem with the cult here with dreadlocks. So, if you have dreadlocks and you have business, please come to Niger State.”
WOW.
