Of course, they will not win the case. But it is the symbolism that is important. Getting guys to carry IPOB flags into football matches was also good symbolism. A lawsuit is a good but weak first step. I hope they have good lawyers to drag the case on some merit. What IPOB lacks is proper guidance on how to get the FG to listen to them. Clearly, Buhari will not listen to protests so they need to try some other stuff. Maybe, next time Bubu visits any country, they can have our embassy there pelted with over-ripe tomatoes. That would be a good symbol. 8 Likes |
