SAN FRANCISCO, September 30, (THEWILL) – Popular Nigerian artiste, Damian Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, has rejected the request of former presidential candidate and activist, Omoyele Sowore, to join his Revolution nationwide protest on October 1.
The protest convener, Sowore, had taken to his Twitter handle on Tuesday evening enjoining the Grammy nominee to act like his mentor, Fela Anikulapo Kuti and join the protest against President Buhari.
His tweet read: “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.”
Reacting, the musician turned down the request saying he does not want to be part of Sowore’s ‘schemes’, adding that he doesn’t trust politicians.
“Sowore well, I am NOT FELA. I have said that countless times. But you sir, are a politician. Leave me out of your schemes.

“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,” Burna tweeted.
