Seun Kuti has blasted former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the arrest of Omoyele Sowore.
In a recent interview, the singer expressed his disappointment in Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the arrest of Omoyele Sowore stating that its a big shame for the activist to have been arrested under his administration. Seun Kuti who is known to be very vocal about political issues revealed that the former governor is the leader of the Revolution Now movement which Sowore started.
It is a shame that an administration with Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu will lock somebody up when he’s the leader of that party that is ruling, for saying Revolution Now, knowing the history of NADECO, the role that he played, and where we all came from, from 1993 till date, I think it was a bit harsh.
He also revealed that he advised Sowore to gather people before starting the protest as such a movement can not be done on the people’s behalf
The only thing I told Sowore was that he needed a bit more time to take people along. You can’t do revolution on the poeple’s behalf. You have to do your revolution with the people.
