He praised Burna Boy as he is being celebrated by foreign media as a revolutionary musician, but noted that the singer has not done any revolutionary act compared to Fela.
Sowore wondered why Burna Boy has never led a protest in the country while he invited the singer for the forthcoming protest slated for October 1, 2020.
Sowore’s tweet reads;
“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,”
