*Adds: “Labour Party now the largest structure in Nigeria”
Nigeria’s celebrated Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana has said ‘the man’ in Aso Rock (Buhari) and ‘those’ rooting to succeed him (other candidates) are tired, adding that “power now lies in the street”.
He made this assertion while speaking at the Labour Party National Retreat held in Abuja.
“The man in Aso Rock said I am tired and I want to go home. Those who want to take power are also tired. Power lies in the street now,” he said.
Falana called on Labour Party members not to operate on such terrain, stressing how they have the largest structure in the land in terms of people.
“And what do they want to do? They want to bribe voters because they have weaponised poverty. Therefore, you cannot operate on the same terrain. You have the largest structures in Nigeria. Please go out today to revitalise those structures.
“It is not business as usual in Nigeria again. Time is on our side. Because Nigerians have lost faith. They are now running from pillar to post when they say you have no structure. Tell them the people are the structure. Power is lying on the street,” he said.
