2face - Vote No Fight

As the 2015 elections gather momentum
with the attendant apprehension it stirs
within the polity, The 2face
Foundation in partnership with Young
Stars Foundation , National Democratic
Institute (NDI) , and other partner
organisations, have flagged off the
“VOTE NOT FIGHT – ELECTION NO BE
WAR” campaign, geared towards a
violence free electoral process in 2015.
This timely initiative was officially
unveiled at a press conference held at
The Events Centre, Alausa, Ikeja on the
September 30, 2014.
The “VOTE NOT FIGHT, Election No Be
War” campaign is an initiative
championed by iconic music star, 2face
Idibia , and targeted primarily at the
youth demographic which incidentally
constitutes by far the largest voting
population in the country and also the
main culprits in election violence.
In attendance were a cross section of
the press and a heavy representation of
civil society organisations from far and
near, who responded en-masse, united
by one common cause – a desire to
work towards violence-free elections in
2015, as well other concerned citizens
including the matriarch of the Kuti
family, Ms. Yeni Ransome Kuti, among
others.
Also unveiled at the launch was the
project theme music recorded by 2face
Idibia as part of the Million Voices for
Peace (MVP) project, and a Public
Service Announcement video by the
BBC Media Action to sensitize the
electorates on the need to VOTE NOT
FIGHT.
