Former chairman of the Independent Corrupt practice and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Justice Mustapha Akanbi (retd), has said. There is likely to be a revolution if the nation continues to neglect the masses.
He said Nigeria is not different from other countries of the world that had moved forward through revolution by its oppressed citizens.
Justice Akanbi made this known while briefing the press on the launching of his autobiography which will take place today, in Abuja.
According to Akanbi, “if you watch, the African Union (AU) and the world frowns at violent revolution, when someone gets there with that, it’s not recognized and pressure is mounted to make sure you go through the democratic rule.
“But if you see what happened at Ouagadougou recently, when they had to go and burn some places, it’s not a coup as such but it’s a demonstration to show that the people are not going to take it. If you check Hong Kong, before it became a less corruption free country, it was the people who rose up as a body to challenge the police.
