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.

Supporters of that rat are nitwits.
Ensured you guys didn't apply for PVC to vote in the last general election, declared a sit at home agenda across the Biafra land prior to the election. Then at the eleventh hour to the election he tweeted they could all go out and vote, that arrangements had been made.
To vote for animals in the zoo.., Imagine that?
What arrangements could have been made?
Sowore is working across board with every Nigerian human magnet who draws people...he wants their numbers. Later, you can bet he will refine Nigeria. Massive hunting first.

All this things you listed did not start 2015 as its made out to look like. Infact, there are still poor people in those countries you listed.
I have problems with hypocrisy because if your father is a minister or you are made a minister will you want a revolution? Change is a mindset because there is no gurantee that those who will take over are any better.
The images you see below are Kenya and Uganda. So believe medias who are hell bent on making your country look bad at your own peril.
Did I mention 2015, Buhari or Jonathan. You went to school at all? You saw images online and you just post it here, I've been to these countries that's why I can speak of what they have and boast of.

Was occupy Nigeria not organized when Jonathan was the President? Must you bring politics into everything? You sound deluded and just too young to hold a conversation.

Age my bellend!! I have been to more countries, executed projects in most part of Nigeria and and few in some parts of africa. So listing those countries as a yardstick makes you a dumb fellow.
Comparing a country of 200m to a country of 20m 30m also makes you dumb.
Comparing a country with more landmass with one that is 2/3rd lesser makes you even more dumb.

Nice one, this is the only power The People have, right to peaceful protest... Nigerians let us use it, we deserve better governance than this. We can start from today, to make Nigerian leaders accountable, so we can get more value from our efforts, time and taxes. Don't be a zombie, governance affect us all.

It has to start from somewhere

Everyone cannot have the same ideology!!!

And if someone has to wait for everyone, nobody will carry out the revolution!!!

Revolution, revolution, revolution.

Okay, what is the revolution?

Just making noise and using big words with no concrete goal. Using Sudan as example is lame. They wanted change of government

What concrete things do you want?

Let's be more concrete. Buhari also came with revolution, which means change. Lol

Terrorists organisation loading.....
This is a movement of average Nigerians from all sphere, with clear objectives, and reasons for the protest. Real Nigerians know that a people's protest is needed in this country, bad governance, insecurity, inflation, nepotistic tendencies of the executive...if you are a pawn, we Nigerians are not. It does not matter who is leading it, Sowore indeed is an activist, he has been in the struggle since the days of the military, he is just trying to get into the Politics, which the greedy politicians always rig, so it's time he works with the average Nigerians, mass people's movement is the way to make government listen, it's the 'People's power' in a democratic system. This is very different from an organisation/body fighting for their own personal benefits/reasons. Did you hear about the USA travel ban, ICC is watching. The world is a global village.

More landmass and with more resources. 90bn dollars stolen by one of your people will provide the basic 24/7 Electricity. You are proud to mention your population as the hinderance to progress and have forgotten that China, a country in the same state as yours 10 years ago with more than 5times population is now doing fine. India was known as the capital of poverty but you overtook India with more people in extreme poverty than a population of above 1billion.

If you can't compare Nigeria with the East African Countries, then you should compare them with China and India. Tell me if you doing better than them after all, your population is less than that of China.

If RWANDA with less population could be doing better than Nigeria x Nigeria should be doing better than China and India

Go borrow sense. Mixing Ford, JP Morgan and Facebook with Dangote and Elumelu doesn't make sense. I have been around different part of the US. Even Houston, Texas here alone I am always amazed at level of infrastructural development. These people have invested so much into their country. If you see roads, you go.tire. Power is 24/7, if it blinks, may be because of storm. Point to one US senator that have acquired so much to the point of having 5 Lamborghini or other luxury cars in his/her garage, and an extra parked in the living room. One of your former minister's jewelry collection alone was valued at $40 million. So, that's part of the money they are supposed to.use to build roads, schools, and hospital.
And the worst part is each thief has bands of natives around him or her. Abi, see how Ibori was welcomed by the same people he stole from. Nigeria is supposed to have over 100 Dangote or Elumelu if the system works at just 10% of what country like US has. Power alone available for 24/7 will turn this country around massively.
