Buhari’s Supporters React As Sowore’s Men Protest

By GWG Staff

Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari under the aegis of the Buhari Media Organisation, BMO have called on security agencies to move apprehend social activist, Omoyele Sowore for alleged involvement in the ongoing RevolutionNow demonstrations across the country.

The group said the protest by the Coalition for Revolution, conveners of the “Revolution Now” protests, was only a subterfuge and an attempt by Sowore to actualise chaos and destabilisation, BMO warned.

Sowore had earlier on Wednesday in a series of posts on twitter intimated his followers of the impending action.

The call by the activist was followed with pockets of demonstrations by activists in Osun, Ogun, Lagos States, and Abuja by activists calling for failures in governance to be addressed. They were in almost all cases nipped in the bud before venturing into the main streets.

In Abuja protesters who gathered around the Unity Fountain were swiftly apprehended by security agents who also patrolled the federal capital in a show of force.

Responding to the development, in a press statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju, and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, BMO called on security agents and government prosecutors to take notice of the potential breach of Mr Sowore’s bail conditions.

“Security agents, including the Directorate of State Services (DSS) must understand that what is being touted as a protest against corruption, is not what it is. It is that notorious group making an attempt to push its agenda of “revolution” under a seemingly innocuous umbrella.

The group recalled that one of the conditions for Sowore bail by the court was that he was not to attend or participate in any form of rallies or protests pending the determination of the charges against him.

“A protest by Sowore’s Revolution Now Group is a protest by Sowore, albeit by proxy. He is the planner and it should be seen for the subterfuge that it is. The objectives of this sinister and dangerous group have not changed. What we have here is Sowore playing puppeteer over the protesters to do his bidding.

“We call on the prosecutors of Sowore’s matter, the DSS and the courts not to take this breach lightly.”

It is recalled that the DSS had warned, a few weeks ago, that there were plans by some persons to destabilise the country. The Buhari Media Organization stated that, that warning was not unconnected with the evil plans by Mr Sowore and his men to start an uprising in the country.
