The useless Sowore said 85% of Nigerians are in support of him, yet only 0.0000100% voted for the idiot during the last elections few months back. He thinks everyone is an idiot has he, his family and his relatives. He should continue with his summer holiday in DSS custody.
the one that surprises me is that sowore was among the first candidate to congratulate buhari after the election and he did not even go to court. maybe he was promised an appointment and when he did not get it, he realized that election was rigged.
useless idiot that should die in prison

the last time they arrested Fani Kayode i was the one feeling the hit, the last time Buhari gulped food poison, I was the one feeling drugged, i wonder if this one still has something to do with me. I have a name to maintain so you guys should give me breathing space. No joking

The Presidency has replied notable Nigerians opposing the action taken by the DSS in arresting rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the February 2019 election, Mr. Omoyele Sowore

It mentioned the name of Soyinka in particular as one of the critics, saying that much as the administration had respect for him and others, they appeared to be engaging in double-speaking and blackmailing the government.

The Presidency, reacting through the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, noted that the same Soyinka would criticise the government for not taking actions against lawlessness and turned around to attack it when it took actions.



“You mentioned the name of Prof Wole Soyinka. Some of these critics of government are people whom we have great respect and admiration for. When things are going wrong with the law and order in the country, they say the police are not doing their work. They raise their voices, asking that ‘the culprits to be booked and expeditiously punished in the most severe manner.’

“The police under a new leadership is now rising to the occasion, saying ‘we cannot take any more atrocities against the law in our country and they are saying don’t do anything.

“They are calling out President Buhari and comparing him to autocratic leaders. This is an unpardonable blackmail that cannot stop the police and other law enforcement agencies from doing their work,” the Presidency responded.

It added that the administration respected the right of Nigerians to carry out peaceful protests, but not a call to “violence.”

The Presidency added, “A Nigerian is by right empowered to call for a change of government using constitutional means; to protest peacefully against government policies and decisions. But to call for the violent overthrow of a democratically-elected government and President is worse, and is not acceptable under any law in Nigeria. Violence will ever be accepted again as a way to change governments in this country. Those days are gone.

“Nigeria has a well-crafted constitution and elaborate laws governing elections that guide an orderly succession in government. We have a judicial system that actively serves as a watchdog of the people’s rights.

“Yet, we are daily witnesses to obscene display of delight in the killing of our soldiers and policemen, an open contempt for the country’s laws and its people, accompanied by loud cheers from the so-called New Media. Is this the way to grow a country?”

Anyone expecting the government not to respond when failed politicians attempts to instigate violent to overthrow the government is mistaken.

The protest of today will be watched with keen interest. You do anyhow, you see anyhow.

One thing i'm very optimistic about the RevolutionNow is that this non violent agitation and call for reform by Sowore, is an avenue for the shiites, IMN and other muslim weaponize organization to hijack the aim of this calls and turn it to blood bathing anarchy that will culminate to another robust joint yoruba and other region terroist forces, the timing for this 5 August stuff is absolutely accidental and coincidental that may pragmatically be spelling out mayhem to the common Nigerian and quagmiring government activites towards a free and fast run of shenanigans activites

Yes it is a bad thing...You had the opportunity to do it using your voters card...but you Yorubas mocked the SE and the SS calling them 5 percenters... when you voted to return the same government barely four moths ago. Do you recall when you people said that the 5 percenters are irrelevant...that they are 4th class citizens? Why do you need a revolution now? cool cool cool

What nonsense. They must always blame the Yorubas for their misfortune. Yenyenyenyenyen... As if there werenn't any votes for Buhari from the east and south south. Iranu. Sit down there and be blaming the Yorubas. At least two Igbo people contested the elections too. Did you vote for them? You'd rather foist another kleptomaniac Fulani bastard on Nigeria.

When they were speaking and criticizing Goodluck Jonathan while supporting Buhari,they were not blackmailers. Evil thrive where good men keep quiet. Keep speaking up for the people Prof. Wole Soyinka.
