Nothing on Earth Will Stop This Revolution” — Sowore Speaks After Securing N200m Bail

Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, has declared that nothing on earth will stop the revolution following his release on bail.

The Federal High Court in Abuja granted the activist fresh bail of N200 million on Tuesday. Justice Mohammed Umar imposed stringent conditions including two sureties.

One surety must be a traditional ruler from Sowore’s community in Ondo State. The second must own landed property in the Federal Capital Territory.

Sowore must also deposit his international passport with the court. The case was adjourned to July 6 for continuation of hearing.

This development comes after the court revoked his earlier self-recognizance bail and remanded him in Kuje Prison. The revocation followed his absence from a previous trial date.

Sowore faces charges of alleged cybercrime and criminal defamation. Prosecutors accused him of calling President Bola Tinubu a criminal on social media.

Speaking after the ruling, Sowore remained unbowed. He insisted the movement for change would not be halted by legal hurdles or state actions.

“Nothing on earth will stop this revolution,” he stated firmly. Sowore described the bail conditions as part of ongoing efforts to frustrate dissent.

He warned authorities that common sense appeared to be returning but stressed the struggle for liberation persists. The activist dismissed any notion of backing down.

Sowore’s supporters and the Take It Back Movement slammed the bail terms as punitive and oppressive. They viewed them as attempts to intimidate ahead of the 2027 elections.

The case stems from Sowore’s persistent criticism of the Tinubu administration. His posts highlighted alleged failures and called for systemic change.

Throughout his activism, Sowore has faced multiple arrests and detentions. He has consistently framed these as persecution aimed at silencing opposition voices.

In court, he had accused the judge of bias and sought recusal without success. Sowore maintained his commitment to exposing impunity.

The ruling highlights tensions between state security agencies and vocal critics. Sowore’s defiance underscores deep divisions in Nigeria’s political landscape.

As the trial proceeds, observers watch closely. Sowore’s unyielding stance signals continued agitation for what he calls the liberation of Nigerians.
