Opinion: Asiwaju Tinubu, Where Is Comrade Sowore?, By SKC Ogbonnia
The Yoruba did not defend June 12th because of the person, MKO Abiola, nor vote for APC in 2015 because of the man, Buhari. The common cause was justice. It was Abiola yesterday; it is Sowore today…
As I elaborated in an earlier essay: “Sowore And Revolution: As Buhari Forgets Why And How He Became President”, the very rhetoric of which Omeyele Sowore is being hounded today, is a page from the opposition movement that brought APC to power. In short, the history has shown that both Tinubu and Buhari had effused worse revolutionary themes in their path to power, yet they were never arrested by past governments due to the freedom of speech.
This growing pattern of injustice, as well as hypocrisy in Buhari’s democratic regime, explains the necessity of #RevolutionNow. The Nigerian masses are worried that power struggles in Nigeria are merely to replace existing leaders with their opponents, whose attitude in governance would not be different from those of their predecessors.
The Yoruba did not defend June 12th because of the person, MKO Abiola, nor vote for APC in 2015 because of the man, Buhari. The common cause was justice. It was Abiola yesterday; it is Sowore today; and it can be anyone tomorrow.
