In agreement to the call for a revolutionary protest by popular activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore over the hardship biting very hard on the citizens, Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has stated that protest is the only language the government understands.
Gumi, is calling on Nigerians to come together and engage in a peaceful protest against President Bola Tinubu’s government.
The Islamic scholar made the appeal in a video clip recently.
He said; “Politicians are very stubborn, it is mass protests that only disturb them.”
“In Sudan and Liberia, the conflicts were like family feuds, which are very dangerous. But Nigeria is different, with diverse ethnicities, religions, cultures, tribes, and sects.”
“Protest is the only language the government understands.”
“In 2015, Muhammadu Buhari and other top All Progressives Congress, APC, officials came out to protest that the previous government had spoiled Nigeria. Then, protest was legal but now it’s illegal.”
“God willing, the protest will proceed peacefully, and the government must understand and respond positively to the language of protest.”
For those who don’t know, Sowore had called for a revolutionary protest in August over the prevailing hardship in Nigeria.
