Enugu Gov’s Aide Attacked On Twitter After Telling EndSARS Protesters ‘Go To Your State’
A senior special assistant on mobilization and empowerment to the Enugu State governor, Hon Mrs Bibian Anekwe, has come under Twitter attack after telling Phyno, Flavour and other celebrities who led EndSARS protests in the state to go to their state and leave Enugu alone.
Anekwe is said to have sponsored a billboard message accusing Phyno and Flavour of using the EndSARS protest to blackmail Enugu State government.

The billboard carried pictures of Phyno and Flavour with the words: “Don’t use #EndSARS protest to blackmail Enugu State Government.”
The signpost also read “Go to your state. Our Governor is working.”
The messages were sponsored after the two popular singers, who’re indigenes of Anambra State but raised in Enugu, led the EndSARS protests in Enugu.
Some of their angry fans, including Patoranking-also a popular singer- took to Twitter to slam Mrs Anekwe for her statement.
