Justice Akambi
The former #Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Justice Mustapha Akanbi (rtd), has said there is likely to be a revolution in the country because of disregard and neglect of the masses.
He said that Nigeria was not different from other countries of the world that had moved forward through revolution by its oppressed citizens.

Justice Akanbi made this known on Tuesday while briefing the press on the upcoming launching of his autobiography which will take place on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said: “If you watch, the 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 look at Hong Kong, before it became a less corruption free country, it was the people who rose up as a body to challenge the police.

“When you push the people and they have their back against the wall, they are bound to react. Revolution means no more than a change, it can be violent and it can be peaceful, but what happened in Ouagadougou most recently is an object lesson for those who care to learn.”
When asked if revolution is possible in Nigeria, he said,”it’s possible, if we go on without thinking about the ordinary people.

“Let’s create an environment where the children of the weak and poor can have a place in the society, where they can compete very well with the children of the rich.”
On the book launch, Justice Akanbi said the event which will take place on November 26 will have former President Olusegun Obasanjo as chairman.

Other personalities that will grace the occasion are the Sultan of Sokoto, Emir of Ilorin, Oba of Lagos, the chairman People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and All Progressive Congress (APC).
