Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and convener ‘Revolution Now’, Omoyele Sowore has been lambasted by Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi.

He said; “The call for a revolution at this fragile moment is not patriotic, it is out of love, uncivilized, non-digital and anti-people. Revolution consumes sensing the fragility of our current security situation.”

“We should behave moderately, act patriotically and complement government at addressing their perceived weaknesses. Let the world see us as enlightened and not conspirator.”

“As an aspirant in the last general election, I expect collaboration, fusion and constructive criticisms where necessary. I see the mastermind of the revolution as an asset.”

“He can be part of the system, if he can’t be, there are better ways of making an impact. He should be more tutored, study situation and respect our togetherness.”

“For example, if I contest against someone and lost the contest. Should I because of that shut down his administration because he won the contest? No, is that what the opponent does in advanced nations? If you see the government as your adversary, you can write an epistle.”

“I want to appeal to Nigerian youths most especially the jobless ones to respect the law, be patriotic and complement leader’s effort at achieving a new Nigeria of our dream. Good governance is a gradual process. If what you wish is not what is obtainable, you can wait at the poll, not a revolution that could consume the nation.”

“We need peace not blood. We need togetherness not secession. We need unity love not hatred. We need complement not division. The time is now for us to contribute. It is left to all of us.”
