Sowore’s AAC declares protests across Nigeria August 5


The African Action Congress (AAC) has declared August 5, 2019, the commencement date of revolution protests tagged ‘Days of Rage’ across the country to demand for a better Nigeria.

The presidential candidate of the party in the 2019 general elections, Omoyele Sowore, disclosed this on Saturday in Abuja at the end of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the AAC.

Mr Sowore said that the protest would be sustained until the country is put on the right path of honour where justice will prevail.

He stated that the action of the government compelled them to take the decision noting that there was no level playing field in the last elections.

“Election is a place we would have carried out a revolution of the ballot box but they stole the ballot box. They hijacked materials that was meant for free and fair election and as a result they did not organise any election that was credible enough for people to have faith in the ballot box,” he said.

Mr Sowore who is also a human rights activist maintained that for the country to have free and fair elections in the future, there must be a showdown and people must define who should be their electoral officers.

He said, “The revolution has therefore become inevitable. We didn’t choose to go for revolution they choose it by ensuring that there was no level playing field in the last election.

“As you know they did it in Sudan and it was started by some females. They were making fun of them but they did not stop until doctors joined them, the labour union joined them and what started as 5 people became 5,000 and 500,000 and became 5,000,000 and the regime fell.

“So don’t let anybody deceive you that in asking for a better government or country you are committing any illegality. The biggest illegality being committed in Nigeria as of today is the rigging of election in 2019.

“The moment you don’t allow people to express their God giving rights to choose their leaders, you are committing an illegality and inviting resistance.”

He said that the proposed revolution is inevitable adding that the group has mobilised people in Lagos and many parts of the country to create places of community resistance.

Mr Sowore said the party has succeeded in creating awareness for the people to speak up and be resistant to all form of poor services from the government.

He added that the consciousness being raised among Nigerians was not to promote or encourage violence but to create the culture of resistance in them.

“I am not the only one asking for a revolution; 84% of Nigerian according to a poll we conducted want a revolution. They don’t want war but these people want to drive us into war so that we can all be exterminated at once.

“We don’t want war, we want a very clean, quick and succinct revolutionary process that will put an end to the shenanigans of government, oppression and corruption.

“Don’t ask me weither I am afraid or worried about the legal implications of what I am saying. I am carrying out a historical duty and only history can judge me not a prosecutor or a federal judge. You can’t kill somebody who is not afraid of death,” Mr Sowore said.

Tribalism and Religionhave eaten deep into Us
An Hausa man would never participate in it because they may say its a Yoruba man protesting same as an igbo man

So i advise that Sowore should forget it

If what hit namdi kanu hit you, you will probably be dead or be in elzakzaky or dasuki condition right now. Namdi kanu did what I think is the best thing to do for now. This Buhari led government doesn't know or respect "rule of law"

I hope, this one would not be another Tu Face Idibia, kind of plan protest ooh!
And I hope too, that this is not just aimed at getting some form of notoriety from this anti people government!!
If indeed you are serious & u mean business, am in then.
But why announced your battle strategy, day, time & place to your enemy ahead of time Any sense in it?
Don't u think such information can help them to plant moles within your ranks to compromise your move's with the view to given u a bad name & hang u thereafter on it.
Guy u need to think ooh & very fast too, bcuz the people u want to protest against are not just humans, but pure demons in human forms and as such, u must know your game before u can tamed these loose political beasts.

People obviously don't know Sowore history, he's one man that has been on the side of the oppressed from time immemorial. He has been totured and imprisoned several times during the dreaded military era, he had a scar to show already.

People should read up about him.
