Uche Nwosu, son-in-law to Rochas
Okorocha, former governor of Imo state, says Nigeria does not need a
revolution.
Nwosu said this in reaction to
the #RevolutionNow protest that took place in some parts of the country on
Monday.
Speaking with journalists on
Friday, the Action Alliance (AA) candidate in the last Imo governorship
election, said instead of protesting, citizens should support the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“It is wrong for anyone to say he
is doing revolution. It is not good for the country. What we need to do now is
to support the president… What revolution are you talking about, revolution
where? Do they understand what revolution is all about? Do they understand the
implication of revolution? Do they understand the outcome?” Nwosu asked.
“Revolution is not what the
country needs at this time. What we need is to support the administration of
President Muhammad Buhari. Whatever you think would contribute to the
development of the country, why don’t you put it down and present it to the
president and they will add it up to whatever they have and the country would
move forward?
“If anybody thinks there is a
place the administration has not done well, put it down and say ‘Mr. President,
if you add this to what you have it would make your administration better’. I
think it is a bad advice for anybody to go on to the street to protest or carry
on with this thing called revolution. It is not the best thing for us now. If
we revolt, some persons would take the advantage of that and set every where
ablaze.”
Omoyele Sowore, leader of the
#RevolutionNow movement, is currently in custody of the Department of State
Services (DSS). Human rights activists, lawyers and critics of the government
have described the detention of Sowore as illegal.
