Sowore Launches #FreeNnamdiKanuNow Mobilization in Abuja Markets Ahead of Oct 20 Protest

Omoyele Sowore has confirmed that nationwide mobilization for the October 20 #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest has officially begun, starting with outreach in Abuja markets.

🗞️ What’s Happening:
• Sowore’s announcement came via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, where he declared that the historic protest march to Aso Rock Villa will begin at 7 AM on October 20, 2025.
• Abuja markets are the first mobilization point, with activists engaging traders, youth groups, and civil society to build momentum for the protest.
• Sowore emphasized that the demonstration will be peaceful and legal, aimed at demanding the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who remains in DSS custody since his controversial extradition from Kenya in 2021.

🧭 Key Messages from Sowore:
• “No more empty noise.”
Sowore called on Southeast governors, lawmakers, traditional rulers, and religious leaders to join the protest in person—not just issue statements.
• Direct outreach to leaders:
He reached out to Governor Soludo, Governor Alex Otti, Peter Obi’s team, and Senator Abaribe, urging them to stand with the people. While some responded, others remained silent.
• Unity over hesitation:
Sowore stressed that this is not the time for delay:

- “If we genuinely believe that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu deserves freedom, then every leader of conscience must act—now, not later.”
