#RevolutionNow : IPOB protested for me, Shi’te for El-Zakzaki, Yoruba should not abandon Sowere else he ‘ll rot in jail, says Kanu
* Blasts anti-protest advocates
By Steve Oko
Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has urged the Yoruba nation not to abandon the convener of
#RevolutionNow, Omoleye Sowere, arrested by the security operatives over the protest march against the bad governance in Nigeria.
Kanu who expressed support for the revolution told the Yoruba that unless they sustain the protest for the release of Swore , he might rot in detention like former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki .
The IPOB leader who said the only language the ‘cabal ‘ at the helm of affairs of the country understands is civil disobedience , urged a sustained protest until the needed change is effected.
Kanu said IPOB protested when he (Kanu) was arrested until he regained his freedom just as the Shiite sustained their protest until their leader was granted bail ,challenged the Yoruba to champion the release of Sowere protest.
The IPOB leader in a post on his facebook page wrote :” The only language this Abba Kyari led Fulani cabal in Aso Rock understand is consistent mass action and civil disobedience. IPOB has done and is still doing it and so too the Shiite.
“What the Yoruba nation and every conscientious person must do now is to rally round Omoleye Sowore to ensure his release or else he will be another Sambo Dasuki detained indefinitely with no constituency to mount pressure on his behalf as IPOB did in my case and Shiite (INM) for Sheikh El-Zakzaki. “
He blasted the Presidency members of the ruling APC for tagging the protest treasonable felony where as they led a protest against ex -President GoodLuck Jonathan in 2012 and 2015 respectively.



Below is a full text of his post monitored by Wawa News Global :
“Let the pictures speak 🔊 louder than any word, tweet or well-crafted press statement.
“Below are your typical British created Nigerians, the worst set of people you could ever possibly encounter. Full of unbridled self-hate, stupendous ignorance, hypocrisy oozing from every pore in their decrepit body and filled with unimaginable wickedness.
“This same set of people now in Aso Rock and their media friends that came out on the street to march, protest and call for #Revolution against President Jonathan in 2014 are today the same bunch of despicable reprobates against any form of lawful dissent, protest or revolution against their regime. This is not only laughable but an affront to decency, justice and fair play. Apparently, the occupants of Aso Rock is telling the world they can call for a revolution and street protest against a sitting president i.e. Jonathan, but nobody is allowed to protest against them.
:Pathetically some of these poorly educated fellows from their ‘presidency’ come on their national television to shamelessly provide a flimsy defence of what is clearly indefensible. The same thing late Buhari did in 2014 by openly calling for a revolution and organising nationwide street protests with the likes of Bola Ahmed Tinubu against the democratically elected government of Goodluck Jonathan is now a treasonable offence under their rule. Even going by the cringe-worthy standards of the most hopelessly backward Banana republic on this earth, the detention of #Sowore for doing exactly what late Buhari did is a new low for the Zoo.
“Why didn’t Buhari, Abba Kyari, El-Rufai, Tinubu et al wait for the election of 2015 to remove Jonathan before embarking on their 2014 Revolution as they are now sanctimoniously preaching? Why did they take to the streets in protest, an action they themselves openly tagged a revolution, before an election?
:The only language this Abba Kyari led Fulani
cabal in Aso Rock understand is consistent mass action and civil disobedience. IPOB has done and is still doing it and so too the Shiite. What the Yoruba nation and every conscientious person must do now is to rally round Omoleye Sowore to ensure his release or else he will be another Sambo Dasuki detained indefinitely with no constituency to mount pressure on his behalf as IPOB did in my case and Shiite (INM) for Sheikh El-Zakzaki.



“#RevolutionNow is a laudable initiative and must be commended by all lovers of freedom. What Sowore did in calling for a revolution in Nigeria is the highest form of bravery. Protests should continue and if need be intensified, especially in Yorubaland, until Omoleye Sowore is set free.
