Overthrowing a democratically elected government is a treasonable crime right? You are supporting the arrest of Yele Sowore because you assume that is what he is going to commit with his #RevolutionNow

So what should we do with Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhari who committed the crime?
All well-meaning Nigerians should stand with @YeleSowore and defend his constitutional right and freedom to protest any matter of Governance that worries him.

Mr Sowore’s convening of Citizens to protest Poor Governance – via #RevolutionNow– is Constitutionally guaranteed.
I’ve always been opposed to any form of repression and I strongly condemn the arrest of @YeleSowore because I believe in peaceful protests; and a dangerous man would not have waited to be arrested at home. Now they’ve unwittingly drawn attention to the #RevolutionNow protests…
