Activist politician, Omoyele Sowore has explained why he refused to join the Occupy INEC protest by chieftains of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Sowore explained that his protest is based on principles
unlike former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who would return to Dubai where he
resides permanently after elections.
ADC chieftains like Atiku, David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola,
Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, Rabiu Kwankwaso had embarked on a protest to INEC’s
headquarters in Abuja over the delisting of their faction.
However, Sowore, while addressing journalists in Abuja after
the protest said: “I support any form of protest against any form of
irregularities, this is what we have been doing and saying that you can’t get
the results we want without protest.
“They used to mock us that activists can’t be good leaders
but now the people want to become activists first so that people can trust them
because they know that those trusted are genuine activists.
“Some of the problems we have now, they are the ones who
created them when they had the opportunity. We were having a conversation
inside the prison and they said the former Minister of Interior Affairs, Rauf
Aregbesola, didn’t promote them for nine years and these are the people
protesting now.
“I support them and I shared my fliers on my Facebook page
that people should join them and we sent people to join them.
“I’m not in opposition for opposition sake, I’m opposed to
everything that is wrong in Nigeria, including what the opposition people were
doing when they were not in opposition.
“Mine is a principled opposition, their own is opposition
for election and the moment the election is over, Atiku will go back to Dubai,
which is where he stays permanently and you won’t see them again.”
