These newly surfaced clips of my interactions with Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola are yet another reminder that my commitment to the struggle for justice, democracy, and the liberation of Nigeria did not begin today. Long before many of those now occupying positions of power found their voices, I was already on the frontlines of the June 12 struggle, standing with Nigerians against military dictatorship and demanding that the peopleโs mandate be respected.
The irony is striking: many of the opportunists, enablers, and pretenders who either opposed, ignored, or later hijacked that democratic struggle are now in positions of authority and seek to suppress those who remained faithful to its ideals. They may wield state power today, but history has shown repeatedly that repression cannot extinguish a just cause.
These clips are not merely historical artifacts; they are evidence of consistency. They show a young activist standing with the democratic movement when it was dangerous to do so, and they connect directly to the same principles that continue to guide the struggle today.
Those who now deploy the machinery of the state against dissent should remember that every generation produces its oppressors and its resisters. The oppressors enjoy temporary power; the resisters ultimately inherit history.
They will be defeated. The cause of justice endures. The struggle continues. #TakeItBack #Sowore2027 #SoworeForPresident
