You and I both know that Omoyele Sowore, a Nigerian, human rights activist, journalist, pro-democracy activist, is currently the leading trend man around the world.
Good copy online, bad copy for Nigeria, my beloved country. Sowore, founder of Saharareporters, an online news portal, was arrested by DSS agents on August 3, 2019.
Since then, the radical man, who was arrested for plotting to shut down Nigeria with his nationwide RevolutionNow protest, has been chilling his feet in the detention centers of the Nigerian secret police.
Born on February 16, 1971 in Ondo State, southwestern Nigeria, Sowore, a graduate of the University of Lagos and Columbia University, stood in the last presidential elections on the platform of the African Action Congress and lost to Buhari. .
But he’s the one who’s been trending on social and mainstream media in recent months and world leaders in developed and developing countries are watching, waiting and praying for Buhari to do what it takes.
What is necessary is off course for the Nigerian government to order DSS to release Sowore in obedience to court orders.
Of course, you and I know why this radical editor of saharareporters is trending.
The Nigerian government with Muhammadu Buhari, as president, said that Sowore planned to overthrow the current regime with his revolutionary protest now at the national level.
Can Sowore, a bloody civilian, who was the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (ACC) in the last elections, where he obtained just 33,953 votes, at the national level, which reached 0.12% of the votes cast, overthrew to the main- General Muhammadu Buhari.
Sowore and The Punch newspaper were reportedly “used” by the APC itself to overthrow the Goodluck Jonathan government. I do not have the facts and therefore cannot confirm it.
The time of revenge has come for the Saharareporters and their fellow travelers. Is it a used and discarded problem?
But, last week, Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri, executive director of Spaces for Change, told reporters, activists and others in Lagos that the Buhari-led regime is seen as rapidly degenerating into dictatorship in word and deed in recent years. time.
At the event, he called on the government led by Muhammadu Buhari to reconnect with its commitment to the international community and citizens to defend freedom and human values.
Ibezim-Ohaeri said that as captured by http://www.closingspaces.org, under the platform of the Action Group on Civic Space, of which S-4-C is one of the members, he stated that there is an alarming record of targeted attacks on dissenting voices.
His words: “Human rights defenders, protesters, journalists and activists such as: Dadiya, Agba Jalingo, IG Wale, Omoyele Sowore, James Abiri, have been forcibly kidnapped, shot, maliciously arrested, detained and flogged with all kinds of charges.
But, the truth is: Can Sowore, a bloody civilian, have the ability and the audacity beyond protest to overthrow the government of Major General Muhammadu Buhari? I do not think. In fact, the radical journalist cannot.
