Sowore: How We Stopped The Military From Burying Abiola In 1998 by sowore2019: 7:04am On Jun 12, 2018 |
In 1998 after the “sudden death” of Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola’s the winner of the June 12 1993 election, a group of young people massed at his residence, Ikeja Lagos primarily to prevent the military from attending and conducting his burial. It was a great battle as some members of Chief Abiola’s family felt our siege was bad for business. However, we stood our ground insisting that nothing but a critical mass movement that had been the vanguard of the revalidation of the annulled election be allowed to conduct the historic burial. I stood in for thousands of of Nigerian youths at Abiola’s residence to deliver a speech announcing the burial of the Nigerian military and their brand of murderous politics. On this day, twenty years later, Nigerian youths will be holding a historic event in and around Chief Abiola’s house to mark June 12 as “Democracy Day.” It is time once again to bury the murderous old guards at the helm of affairs in Nigeria. It is Time to end the leadership of robbery, corruption, nepotism, fascism, inertia, incompetence, wickedness and selfishness! #TakeItBack #Sowore2019 https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10158122617202837&id=803267836&refid=17&_ft_=top_level_post_id.10158122617202837%3Atl_objid.10158122617202837%3Athrowback_story_fbid.10158122617202837%3Athid.803267836%3A306061129499414%3A2%3A0%3A1530428399%3A-5247915947363651585&__tn__=%2As-R 18 Likes 3 Shares

robinso01: But you want to vote those who never cared to campaign for democracy, while others were in direct confrontation with the military junta, fighting for the democratic franchise you now have? Sowore has paid his dues and he has every right to gloat over what people like him helped achieve for a nation so comfortable with their oppressors. Till today, Sowore is still fighting. 268 Likes 17 Shares |

Sowore is a daydreamer, you can never become Ondo state governor talk less of becoming Nigeria's President. You are a typical example of corrupt Nigerian youth who sings the praises of the highest bidder. You are a tribal bigot just like Buhari! If Sowore becomes anything near president, then Tinubu has finally succeeded in becoming Nigeria's president because Sowore is Tinubu's stooge. You allowed Tinubu and APC to decide the level of lies you published in your Sahara Reporters online newspaper. You and Tinubu worked in hand to use Sahara Reporters to dish out wicked lies against Goodluck Jonathan's regime just to deceive Nigerians. You fabricated so many lies of how Boko Haram did this and that under Goodluck Jonathan but after 2015, Sahara Reporters stopped reporting about Boko Haram! When you notice that intelligent Nigerians like us are watching you, you just write one flimsy and non-indicting negative article against Tinubu just to make it seem like u are neutral but we all know who u are and who u are working for. Sowore please don't use your hand out of over ambition to destroy yourself, just park one side and continue with your tribalistic online blackmail newspaper before we open your dirty book to the world. You wanted to become Wiki Leaks of Nigeria, but greed, corruption and hunger for money and fame couldn't let you finish the great job, so go and sit down!! 19 Likes 4 Shares |

Sowore & Sahara Reporters will one day take their rightful place in nigerian history. Many people do not really know what Sahara Reporters & its founder Omoyele Sowore stand for. Sowore is one of d greatest nigerian patriots of all time whose life is dedicated to good governance in nigeria. He was one of d leading lights who suffered greatly in d struggle 4 democracy in nigeria & he keeps fighting 4 a better country. SOWORE & SAHARA REPORTERS DO NOT CARE 4 UR APC OR PDP. Their concern is for good governance in Nigeria. 34 Likes 3 Shares |
