Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore has called for yet another protest against President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
Taking to Twitter, the Convener of the #RevolutionNow protest tagged it a "pot and pan" protest.
The protest is to last from Saturday, April 25th to Saturday, May 2nd at 12 noon daily.
Sowore's words: "Pots are empty, plates are empty and the stomach is very empty! Bang your pot at home, don’t let hunger kill you at home because of their greed, corruption and incompetence."

A cacerolazo or casserole is a form of popular protest which consists of a group of people making noise by banging pots, pans, and other utensils in order to call for attention. Panelaço in Portuguese.

That was exactly what he said bro. In a summary form. "In your house". How will people know you're protesting if you don't post it? You're doing well...

The Department of State Services had in August 2019 arrested Sowore and his codefendant, Olawale Bakare, in respect of the protest.
They were subsequently charged with a treasonable felony for allegedly planning to topple the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, among other counts including abusing the President.
They were held in custody for over four months until mounting domestic and international pressure forced the government to release them in December.
