If our @NGRPresident @MBuhari & FG @AsoRock are not completely out of touch with the reality of distress of majority of Citizens of this country, they would handle @YeleSowore ‘s right to convene #RevolutionNow wisely.

The theme for #RevolutionNow in summary: public discontent with the state of the nation & its governance.
It is a huge disservice to the cause of democracy & tolerance of dissent for the state to arrest him for calling for a protest.#FreeSowore#RevolutionNow— EiE Nigeria (@EiENigeria) August 3, 2019
