APC urge the security agencies to arrest Mr Peter Okoye of P-square for insulting the Federal government of Nigeria.

The All Progressives Congress(APC)
youth renaissance group has fired a
stinker at Peter Okoye of P-square for
insulting the Federal government of
Nigeria.

In a statement signed by the group’s
national secretary, Mr Collins Edwin
and made available to PoliticsNGR,
the APC described Okoye as a ‘son of
darkness’.

The statement read in full;

We read the scurrilous remarks
credited to Mr Peter Okoye of the
Psquare group against the Federal
Government’s job-saving policy in the
entertainment industry with great
anger and vexation.

Least of all persons to make scathing
remark against the government is the
Psquare group which the local content
policy of the Federal Government
dusted-up from the valley of obscurity.
Where was Peter Okoye or Psquare
brand in 1999 when foreign music
dominated our airwaves? If not for the
government policy which mandated all
broadcast stations in Nigeria to pay
attention to Nigerian music by playing
95 percent of Nigerian songs every
day, would Peter Okoye or Psquare be
known to anybody in Nigeria today?
Or would they have competed with
better American music which
dominated our airwaves then?

After the government have used its
policy to brush them up from nothing
to something; instead of giving
opportunity to other people, they are
taking Nigerian jobs to foreign
countries through the shooting of
music videos abroad.

Now that government have intervened
to raise great and better entertainers
again, Peter Okoye has the gut to
insult the entire Federal Government
by calling our great leaders ‘Ndi Ala’
which means mad and stupid people.
How dare you say that Psquare?

We, therefore, urge the security
agencies in the country to arrest Mr
Peter Okoye for disrespecting our
government and bringing it to a
disrepute. If you cannot produce in
Nigeria and hire Nigerians, then leave
the industry.We must export Nigerian
culture to the outside world through
our music and videos
