Nigerian singer and Grammy awards nominee, Burna Boy has turned down human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore’s invitation to join a planned anti-government protest.
Sowore took to Twitter on Tuesday, September 29, 2020, where he tried to woo the music star to join a planned protest billed to hold on the country’s independence day anniversary.
“Hello @burnaboy, everywhere I turn people describe you as a revolutionary musician, the foreign media even celebrate you compare you to Fela Kuti, but I am yet to see you lead anyone to a police station carrying a coffin for head of state! Join #Oct1stProtest #RevolutionNow,” he tweeted.

In his response, the music star dismissed the invitation insisting that all politicians (Including Sowore) are the same.
“Everybody is a Fela fan and supporter now that he is dead. Humans are so Funny, You politicians are ALL the same (especially in Nigeria) and Frankly, I don’t trust none of you.@YeleSowore,” he tweeted.
Sowore and his group are planning a nationwide protest on Thursday, October 1, 2020, to demand the government’s accountability of its citizens.
Several hashtags have been generated by the activist and his group on social media including the popular #OccupyNigeria.
