BURNA BOY: Why I Turned Down Sowore’s Invite To Join #RevolutionNow—-Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy has turned down an invitation by the convener of the RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore, to join their group for the October 1st march.
The former presidential candidate had earlier on Monday made a call for Burna to join the movement in a message he shared on social media.
In response, Burna Boy wrote on his IG Page:
“@burnaboygram everywhere I turn people describe you as a revolutionary musician, the foreign media even celebrate you compare you to Fela Kuti, but I am yet to see you lead anyone to a police station carrying a coffin for head of state! Join #Oct1stProtest”
Burna Boy, however, flatly rejected the request, stating that all Nigerian politicians are the same and he trusts none of them including Sowore. He wrote;
“Everybody is a Fela fan and supporter now that he is dead. Humans are so Funny, You politicians are ALL the same (especially in Nigeria) and Frankly I don’t trust none of you.@YeleSowore.”
The protest March is planned for 1st October slated to hold all over Nigeria as well as in London, Sweden, Netherlands, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC, Germany and Canada.
