9 Northern Groups Pull Out Of #revolutionnow Protest Scheduled For August 22nd by 9jahotblog: 5:16am On Aug 22, 2019
Nine groups out of the 15 that formed the Joint Northern
Action Front to participate in a planned #Revolutionow
protest in some northern states on August 22, have
pulled out.
The Secretary of the groups, Tanko Mustapha made the
declaration in a joint press statement issued on
Wednesday night in Kaduna State saying; “we are
pleased to announce today that these nine groups have
resolved to pull its members out of tomorrow’s planned
protests called by the Joint Northern Action Front which
we were part of”.
Mustapha said their withdrawal from the protests was
based on some considerations.

“We have reviewed the planned protests by
critically looking into the nature, salient
intentions and most importantly the likely
negative consequences on the North in
particular and democracy in general.
“We discovered that the main intention of the
protests is far from checking government
excesses that are of national concerns, but
rather to further the hidden agenda of some
people. Our concern is that the nature of the
protests may very likely not be peaceful and it
will not only be unproductive but may have
negative consequences on the north and our
democracy as well.
“We weighed all the possibilities against the
background of its dangerous consequences in
countries like Libya and Yemen who embarked
on such moves blindly. After candidly weighing
the pros and cons, we arrived at the conclusion
that the exercise is ill-informed, in bad taste,
counterproductive, self-serving as well as an ill
wind that will not blow anybody any good.
“Despite the lapses in governance in all aspects,
especially in security, economy, and
infrastructure, we wish to align with the patriotic
position of the apex conglomerate of groups in
the north, the CNG, that every issue can be
discussed and resolved in a civilized manner and
never by violence.
“We today, therefore, declare a complete pullout
from participation in the organization and call on
the protesters and all people of the north to
disregard the calls,” he said. Mustapha called
on the government to as a matter of urgency,
address all the observed lapses and
misgovernance to avoid uprisings.

When Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped by Buhari's squad called DSS, our vintage Sowore spoke out, demanded the government release him.

Now I know why Nnamdi Kanu is speaking and demanding for release of Sowore.

Most of those abusing Sowore didn't know this .

This is why many Buharists wants him in jail. For speaking up against the rotten system that has kept many of them in perpetuity of poverty and sickness .

Sowore committed no crime
#FreeSoworeNow #RevolutionNow

Watch to the end .
