The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, on Monday joined Nigerian students in protest at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Sowore, while at the protest, said it was important for the students to intensify their action saying, “this is your struggle.”
The students, who seemed happy to see Sowore at their protest, cheered him and allowed him to address them.
“I am a comrade and I remain a comrade forever, anything you need from us, let us know, but this is your struggle.
“Nigerian students delivered independence to Nigeria in 1960, after this, they hijacked it and started using it against us. Nigerian students delivered the democracy we have today in in 1999, but when they flog people, it is the same us that they flog,” Sowore said.
He urged drivers, traders and well-meaning Nigerians to support the students’ struggle.
