THE Presidency yesterday said that the only way to change government in a democracy was through electoral process.

This came on the heels of the African Actor Congress, AAC in the February 23 Presidential election, planned revolution spearheaded by the Presidential Candidate of the Omoyele Sowore. The Presidency in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said that the government will always welcome peaceful protest by the citizenry to express their grievances, but added that peaceful protest was different from incitement for revolution. It further told those behind the planned revolution to reveal their identity and not to hide under the group to be causing problems in the country. The statement read, “Following calls circulating on social and digital media, an organisation that calls itself the “Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria” plans a “revolution” march tomorrow, Monday 5th August, with the aim of bringing “regime change” in Nigeria without recourse to a nationwide vote. “The President of Nigeria and his administration respect and uphold the right of every Nigerian to peaceful protest and civil campaign– whether to raise awareness on issues, and even oppose the government. It is the inalienable right of all citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to do so. “There is, however, a difference between peaceful call to protest and incitement for a revolution.

” The organisation championing this planned action is not fronted by any serious public faces. We call on the sponsors and organisers to have the decency to come forward and make their identity known – out of respect to all Nigerians – so that Nigerians can be fully aware in whose name this “revolution” is being proposed and who the beneficiaries may be. “Less than six months ago, Nigeria held simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections. Both contests were won resoundingly by President Muhammadu Buhari and his All-Progressives Congress party. ” The campaign was observed, and results were confirmed by international election monitoring groups and observers. The result was even contested by the losing presidential candidate and his party in Court.” Continuing, the Presidency said, “The ballot box is the only constitutional means of changing government and a president in Nigeria. The days of coups and revolutions are over. ” Those making the “revolution’’ call hide behind the veil of social media modernity. But without revealing the identity of their sponsors this shadowy campaign is no better, and no more democratic, than the days of old. ” The President calls on all those who seek to use and hide behind everyday citizens to attain power through undemocratic and violent means, which has been alluded, to come out clearly and be identified. ” They should lead their march in person. Only then will they begin to have the right to call themselves leaders before the people of Nigeria.”

Election is just one of the means to change a government. (Legal). There are many ways to kill a rat

Typical display of mumuric and undemocratic mentality. So you expect reasonable and educated Nigerians to wait for election before you eventuarry trade Naija for 150 cows. To those who think we have a better government, i accept that you have betrayed your intelligence. # Isupportrevolution.

Gaddafi was changed without elections, think of Mugabe, Mossi n others. All these happened in Africa.


Buhari is right though. Forget rigging, majority of Nigerians voted for buhari just few months back. Allow him to complete his tenure in peace

You don't have knowledge.

We will change government with Revolution. if you have the balls to rig an election (You cheat 220Million people and you expect no reaction? Buhari you must be mad!) you should have the balls to face a revolution daft monkey

Let get at it in the morning scum

It is unfortunate that this RevolutionNow won't work because of the nature of Nigeria; multi tribal and multi religious.

The only hope for Nigeria is going back to regional system of government for every region to be solely independent with their own regional government, Police, bylaws, etc.

Or peaceful division of Nigeria into as many nations as possible or into 6 using the existing geopolitical zones and then referendum can be conducted to allow some minority tribes in some of the 6 geopolitical zones decide the nation out of the 6 new nations they want to join, that's the only hope for Nigeria to enter a new pathway into becoming averagely okay in few decades to come if not, no hope till forever no matter who is elected the President under this useless foundation and structure of impunity and mediocre pioneered by half educated northern oligarchs
