RevolutionNow: Sowore announces nationwide protest on October 1, says’ Nigeria governed by ancestors

The former presidential candidate of Africa Action Congress, AAC, and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Mr. Omoleye Sowore, on Tuesday, announced his that “Revolution Now” group would be carrying out a nationwide protest on Nigeria’s 60th Independence Day.

Mr. Sowore while on live Facebook show, Peace Talk with Mercy, compared Nigeria to a child that was born with a bright future but wasn’t even allowed to crawl or walk.

“Nigeria at 60 is like a child that was still born with such lovely promising and great future, but right from birth the enemies of that child surrounded the child – the father, mother and relatives, all of them kind of bounced on the child and then did not allow the child to even walk or crawl.
“So, Nigeria refused or was not allowed to crawl since 1960. It’s a nation with 60 years of sociopolitical and economic paralysis,” he said.

The revolutionist insisted that leadership has always being the problem of Nigeria.

“Nigeria is governed by her ancestors, people who are older than Nigeria.

“You hardly can find anybody who is president of Nigeria these days who was born in 1960. People who are older than Nigeria kept governing Nigeria.

“They were the uncles and relatives that I was telling that bounced on the new born baby from day one.
That is why we are where we are today,” he said.

The former presidential aspirant maintained there’s nothing really to celebrate about Nigeria at 60, as a result him and his group are calling on the citizens to come forward on October 1 to protest what has happened to Nigeria in the last 60 years.
