Buhari, others protesting in under GEJ administration over insecurity, but denying others the same opportunity in 2019. Nigerians have the right to make their voices heard on national issues. #FreeSowore pic.twitter.com/UKGhWB4Qrh

Fulani tyranny & primitive dictatorship will never win this war against the massed ranks of oppressed people in Nigeria. Suppressing the right to protest in a so-called democracy will only hasten the collapse of that ZOO.#FreeSowore & allow the #RevolutionNow right to protest. pic.twitter.com/ZzjrSWosY7
