Omoyele Sowore led a group of youths and activist in a protest against the Military regime in 1998. The march protest was massive which brought the attention of the military men to the protest scene/

Omoyele adressed the congregation of protesters; he stated that Nigerian youth no more have confidence in their leaders. he said: "Our saying is,tomorrow belong to us and today is our day We have waited and had been cheated for too long".. Unfortunately this was not the kind of message the military welcome. The military men disrupted the protest with Tear-gas and gun shootings, which led many of the protesters fleeing away from the scene of the protest. Sowore was forcefully arrested from the crowd and whisked away.

...Yet he supported GMB to power over slow progressing civil power...….Wisdom is profitable to direct...….He also lost it or was blinded by hatred or sentiments against GEJ. I get it if you have a choice on who to vote....but running a campaign of calumny and lies has its own reward. I honestly hope he learns from this...……...Also to those asking & seeking an alternative PMB should also learn from Sowore's mistake that it's not all that glitters that is gold. Vote based on antecedent/vision/results and not on tribal/religion/fraudulent expectations or sentiments
