The Nigeria we seek to revive is possible, only when we unite to fight suppression with what we have. Calling institutions that ought to function to accountability! We condemn the attack on peaceful protesters celebrating #June12 today as a form of expression! #TIB @YeleSowore

Live at Crest FM for the Democracy day Protest. The day we choose to be silent, is the day we start to lose to oppression. Oppression has no ears, so you have to communicate with it by action @YeleSowore

Democracy is a government of the people, and the people must #TakeItBack. The TIB movement in Akure Ondo State at the CP office today is a move to retrieve power from the few and to fight for a government for all.

Earlier today, the police attacked peaceful protesters at Cathedral Junction Akure today. We have decided to take the grievances to the Commissioner of Police at the HQ. #Sowore #DemocracyDay #June12

"Oppressing hardworking farmers is like maltreating an orphan. This is an attempt to victimize honest living. We will follow the course of justice until the end. God, himself, is an author of justice, and, in his words, he detests oppression..."-- TOPE TEMOKUN (SLM) #OluwaFarmers
