Entertainers in Rivers state are up in war of words against each other following a match by a group of entertainers on Thursday to the government house.
The match which was tagged “Victory Match” in solidarity with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, following his hard fought victory for another term of four years started at the Pleasure Park and ended at the Government House Port Harcourt.
The entertainers also provided recommendations to the government on how to best grow the industry.
However, several stakeholders in the industry described the match as shallow and ill-advised.
Lexy Mueka who reacted on his Facebook page stopped short of calling the match a monumental mistake.
Others who reacted include Young Endy.
They Said Its Not A Political March, Yet They Tagged It “In Celebration Of His Excelency's Victory By The Rivers State Entertainment Sector In Rivers State”. 😂 Next Time You Choose To Make Such Move, You Must Spell It Out Properly. #OgaMedia #MrControversial 😂

Obviously the Ministry of Culture & Tourism hasn't met up with the ever challenging mental & generational drift.
