The 2023 African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has called on Nigerians to file out in declaring a revolution against President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian Government in August.
Recalling that Tinubu and former president Muhammadu Buhari once called for a revolution, Sowore said nothing would stop that of August.
Posting on X, Sowore wrote: “The REVOLUTION is now knocking on our doors! #RevolutionNow. Let everyone rise all once in August 2024!
“Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.
“They asked for a revolution and It is here now! @officialABAT once asked for a revolution, even @MBuhari once asked for a revolution and Nigerians now want a real revolution.
“Nothing Can Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come” #RevolutionNOW.”
This is coming when Nigerians are bedevilled by insecurity and hardship occasioned by the astronomical rise in the prices of food.
While Tinubu’s government has been tackling the issue of insecurity, the Nigerian government has rolled out measures to tackle food insecurity within 150 days.
The measures announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari said a 150-Day Duty-Free Import Window for food commodities would be implemented by the Federal Government.
He noted that within its period the government will relax the tax and import duties on Wheat, Maize, husked Brown Rice, and beans.
