Omoyele Sowore, leader of ‘Revolution Now’ and African Action Congress (AAC) candidate in the 2019 presidential election has been exposed.
Department of the State Security Service (DSS) has revealed that Sowore is working with his foreign allies to cause confusion and destabilise Nigeria through his purported “revolution” march.
DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, said; “We also believe that he is working with some people outside the country to cause confusion and anarchy.”
“This is to confirm that Omoyele Sowore is with us here at the DSS. I want to start by saying that the Department of State Services is a responsible organisation operating in a democratic setting and we adhere strictly to the fundamentals of democracy.”
“The DSS as you are aware has the responsibility of protecting and defending the Federal Republic of Nigeria against domestic threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of Nigeria, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to both federal and state law enforcement organs.”
“Our job also involves the detection and prevention of crimes against the internal security of Nigeria. The Service is also charged with managing, containing, curtailing and eliminating threats against the security of Nigeria. These threats include sabotage, subversion, terrorism and threats against espionage and others.”
“A revolution is primarily a revolt, insurgency, forceful takeover of government. In Nigeria, we operate a democracy. Nigeria is not a banana republic and cannot suddenly be made one. Nigeria is respected in the comity of nations; Nigeria is not just the giant of Africa, but the pride of Africa.”
“The DSS will not sit down and watch someone with his cohorts rise to destabilise Nigeria’s unity, peace, and constitutionalism. Whether Sowore is with the DSS or not is not an issue as the answer is in the affirmative and an emphatic yes and why is he with us?”
“He has crossed the line! He has threatened public safety. Sowore has, as a matter of fact, threatened the coexistence, social harmony of Nigeria. There is apprehension and anxiety as citizens are worried as to what would happen next.”
“The answer is yes. Did we act within the confines of the law? The answer is yes. Are we acting within our mandate? The answer is yes. Are we supposed to do what we did? The answer is yes. Sowore is with us.”
“Sowore himself said that there won’t be Nigeria, security services and institutions will cease to exist and all these threats are in the public domain. We don’t need to wait for the threats to take place before going into action.”
“I want to use this opportunity to assure law-abiding Nigerian citizens and friends of the country and indeed, people of the world that 5th August, 2019; there would be absolute peace in Nigeria, nothing would happen, the government has been democratically elected and there would not be any forceful takeover of the government.”
“We are calling on all Nigerians and all persons with good conscience to disregard the call for a revolution and support the state. We urge people to go about their normal businesses as we want to reiterate that there won’t be anything like revolution and we will work with all stakeholders to ensure that peace is maintained in the country.”
“The DSS would not stand by and watch self-serving people take laws into their hands. We will do all in our power to ensure that there is peace in Nigeria.”
“If any person who has contested an election and didn’t succeed or feels otherwise, all you need to do is to follow the normal process or go back, rework your strategy and wait for another election. We will not shy away from our responsibility of protection and the constitution has said this country is indivisible, indissoluble and we all must support in it.”
