The spokesperson for the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar Campaign, Kassim
Afegbua, has insisted that the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal
Government was responsible for the RevolutionNow protest.
Afegbua said the APC-led federal
government pushed Nigerians into agitating for a revolution due to its bad
governance.
Featuring on Channels Television,
Afegbua said Nigerians won’t call for revolution if the APC government had
“provided good governance.”
He said: “If you look at the
blueprint of the RevolutionNow, they are asking for quite a number of very
salient issues.
“But for the failure of
government, for the failure of the All Progressives Congress-led government in
certain critical sectors of the nation’s economy, both politics and the welfare
of the people, this RevolutionNow is beginning to gain attention in the minds
of the people.
“If things were right, if the APC
could sit down and provide governance if they can govern the country very well,
people will not be agitating for things like RevolutionNow.”
Recall that the Department of
State Services, DSS, had picked up Omoyele Sowore, former presidential
candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, over the weekend for calling for
Revolution Now protest.
Despite Sowore’s arrest, the
RevolutionNow protest held in some states yesterday.
