Junaid Mohammed, a Second
Republic lawmaker, has rubbished the RevolutionNow protest called by the
African Action Congress, AAC, 2019 presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
Mohammed described the RevolutionNow protest as a charade and meaningless
venture, which should be ignored.
Recall that the Department of
State Services, DSS, had arrested Sowore after he called for a revolution.
Despite Sowore’s arrest, the
protest was held in pockets of locations.
Reacting to the protest, Mohammed
insisted that there was a sinister motive behind the call for the protest,
stressing that Sowore lacks understanding of the true meaning of revolution.
He said: “This whole call for
RevolutionNow is meaningless and a charade, I think there is a sinister motive
and there is a need to expose those who are behind this. The call was so quick,
Sowore’s case was disposed of only last month after he went through the charade
of forming a party and becoming the presidential candidate, went to Rivers to
install a candidate there and within one month they have now revolved into a
revolution.
“Sowore is now the one calling
for a revolution, if you call for a revolution against a state or government,
it means you don’t believe in it right? And want changes by some kind of
violence which is a revolution.
“After you participate in an
election and never won even a ward then you are now calling for a revolution,
please who is fooling who? I think Sowore needs to go back to school and read
what revolution is all about.
“The action of this man has
complicated lives of those of us who want a change of authority in this country
and has also complicated life for those who genuinely would like to carry out a
revolution which is not a tea party, it’s a very serious affair with life and
death involved.
“What I find funny with some of
these radicals is that they don’t know the complexity of this country.”
