Kiddwaya Reacts To Backlash After Seeking Donations For Benue Victims

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Kiddwaya has responded to backlash he received after seeking donations for Benue victims through his foundation.

He clarified that his intention was genuine, driven by his connection to Benue as a native son.

Kiddwaya, the son of billionaire Terry Waya, emphasised that the crisis in Benue, which has resulted in loss of life and displacement, is the real tragedy.

He acknowledged the pain and misunderstanding caused by his donation post and chose to take it down out of respect for the voices of his critics.

However, he affirmed commitment to supporting his people, stating that he will continue to use his platform, voice, and resources to help those in need, regardless of the criticism.

His statement reads: “I’ve seen the comments. I hear the backlash. I didn’t post about Benue for clout, I posted because I genuinely care. I am a Benue indigene and a proud Benue man. What’s happening there breaks my heart, and I couldn’t just look away. I took the donation post down because I saw the pain and misunderstanding it caused, not because I’m ashamed of helping, but because I respect your voices, even the angry ones. But let’s not forget what this is really about. Right now, people in Benue are being attacked. Families are being torn apart. Lives are being lost.
