How Social Media Pressure Buhari To Release Sowore by Spatta: 8:30am On Dec 06, 2019
Sowore has been an advocate of Freedom especially for the oppressed masses, a style he adopted several years ago first as Student Union President of University of Lagos and Later with his Sahara Reporter, known to have exposed several corrupt cases through investigative Journalism. He was indeed hated by those who were touched by his uncompromising reportage. He has been the most wanted Journalist from the days of the Military

Sowore who strated observing the Political spate since Shagari waited for the liberation of the Nigerian Masses from the successive government, witnessed Buhari's Military Regine from 1983 to 1985 and then the Military regime of Ibrahim Babangida , then the brief interim of Shonekan, and then Abacha, followed by Abdusalami Abubakar and Later Obasanjo, He waited for too long as nothing seemed to be changing, Nigeria were still held on by a repressive government and freedom seemed far away, Sowore in Frustration departed Nigeria to the US during Obasanjo but never really left Nigeria as he was burdened by the task of giving Nigeria a better society

Sowore was dissatisfied by the failure of the Civilian regime after Nigeria breathe a sigh of relief from the Military repressive style of governance, Obasanjo hand picked Ya' adua after his eight Years and subsequently Ya'adua died before he could complete his tenure, there were tension and speculation on the death of Ya'adua, again Sahara reporter through the passion of Sowore unraveled the mystery of the secrecy in Abuja, a plot to have a Dead man continue to run the country while Lulling Nigerians to the deceit that the president was still alive.
Jonathan who was then the Deputy was being sidelined by the northern Caucus who would not have Jonathan become President
Sowore again used his Sahara reporter medium to upturn the surreptitious move and Jonathan became the President after several interest opposed the Idea.
There were hopes that a Younger President in the person of Jonathan would do better than all the old Politician, It turned out that Jonathna also had no clue what governance should be as Corruption under him rose to the high heaven, Sowore became disappointed again and pressured the the government using his medium and Nigerian were shopping for another Leader
The choice of choosing from the Known and the Unknown became pertinent and Buhari who had loss election for three attempts was put forward by Politician and he became the President, Disappointed after his first tenure, Sowore Put himself forward to run against Buhari

Just before the Election , He used the Social media well and practically forced the opposition to do same, His Facebook Page was no Fire, His twitter handle was same, He posted Videos of his activities and spoke vehemently in all occasion for the Liberation of the repressed
The Election was Held and there were doubts as to the credibility of the outcome, Again the social media was employed by Sowore and he called

Nigeria to deliver themselves from the age long oppression and the cynosure of failed Leaders
The DSS was on his tail and the hoped to silence him by an arrest, The Arrest was carried made on the 3 of August 2019, Sowore was incarcerated while being charged for Treason for calling the masses to revolution against the government
The Case was in Court and several Judges adjudicated on the matter and sowore was granted bail after meeting his bail condition
However, while all these were going on, The Government was pursuing a course to silence Nigeria from the Freedom of speech
There was an outcry and the Pressure mounted against the Government made the forged Bill silenced

Since he has always been wanted by the DSS, They found an opportunity in his call for Revolution and held on to him even after he was granted Bail Until Yesterday

Social Media was the means through which pressure was mounted on the government to release Sowore
Unfortunately, the same Social media is what the Government seeks to take away from the masses
indeed the Freedom of the masses is the fear of Tyrant

This senseless writer thinks that Buhari goes to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to read the nonsense that lazy youths post. DSS released Sowore because the judge gave a very affirmative order and the DSS does not want to been seen as disobeying the Court. THe order the judge gave yesterday was very affirmative, if the DSS did not obey it, the Judiciary would have turned against the Executive government and that would be very bad for the Executive.

His incarcération was a big minus to the réputation of the Buhari administration, it carries a lit of nagative bashing from Nigerian both home and abroad
Buhari can now start working if he has something to do. I doubt he does
