A now-deleted video of Nigerian activist and politician, Sowore Omoyele threatening to halt a program organized for Nigerians in the U.S. has emerged.

Sowore could be seen storming the podium during the event as he urged the organizers to shut down the event.

The objectives of the event organizers could not be identified at the time of filing this report.

"We are shutting down this event," Sowore was heard in the video sighted on the popular blog, Instablog on Monday, August 12.

"We are no longer gonna wait. There is no true Nigeria here. There are true Nigerians that dont accept nonsense. You killed 20 people last week in peaceful protest and you are coming to do town hall meetings in America, the home of civil rights and you think we are stupid?"

"I am not Martin Luther King, my name is Sowore Omoyele let them come and arrest me".

The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress has warned of a revolution starting from 1 October.

According to him, the protest will be “stronger, better, and bigger."

“The protest will continue until we see the back of bad governance in the country,” he told Nigeria Info on the Morning Crossfire show on Monday, two days after the End Bad Governance in Nigeria demonstrations ended.

Sowore admitted that the protest from 1 to 10 August did not have the expected impact, but said progress was made.

“It did stand those in power up for 10 days. The president of Nigeria did nothing else but attend to speaking to the issues of the protest.

“The security agencies did nothing else and our people were made aware of the reasons bad governance has to end.”

Sowore believes the concluded protests sparked a strong spirit of unity and combat against a common enemy, despite religious differences and religious interference. That enemy is bad governance.

“We never thought that it could go as far as it went, that there will be a seismic event that will shake Nigeria the way it shook Nigeria,” Sowore said.

“And now we are getting even more people interested in this (protest). I saw a group of elders travel to AsoRock to say, ‘Now it’s time to talk about a new constitution.’

“The government on his part came and started making all kinds of effort, grants were made available.

“It was in the middle of this protest that they released the first batch of loans to students which we have advised should be grants.”
