If Sowore Had The Numbers Obi Had The Street Would Have Blown Open- Dele Farotimi

In a recent interview featuring Dele Farotimi, he said: I said in a book I wrote over two years ago it’s been available for download but our people don’t read and then they will be talking about being surprised by what somebody has done. There’s nothing I did in 2023 that isn’t in that book I made it clear I said I’ll follow the electoral part and when the system refuses to honor the will of the people it becomes the crystallizing factor to move to the street.

The only thing that happened in 2023 is that we were broken the person the people followed was not the person who could take to the street, that is not to suggest that the person is a “counterrevolutionary” it simply means that the person temperament is not the same as those of my friends who will revolution now !!

Imagine if it was Yele that emerged as the leader in the election #revolutionnow would have marshalled itself into the street. But we are dealing with a labour party that did not have the structure to take to the street and then we are dealing with a divided street where we have “emilokan” factor .
We didn’t have the capacity to take to the street because the most vibrant way of the #revolutionary movement belonged to a force that wasn’t aligned with the candidate that emerged the winner in the election.
If Yele had the kind of numbers that Peter obi had the street would have blown open!!
