Following the alleged human rights violations in Nigeria, the country’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has predicted a revolution.
Atiku spoke on Thursday night when he paid a solidarity visit to the former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, who clashed with security operatives at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, from Cairo, Egypt on Thursday.
Speaking during the visit, Atiku said the authorities must have learnt lessons from how Nigerians at the airport resisted arrest.
“I hope they will learn from what they saw at the airport because it was people on their own who resisted the arrest.
“What they don’t understand is that there could be a revolution in this country because people will no longer accept the violation of their human rights.
“What happened at the airport was absolutely uncalled for,” he said.
Recalls that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had seized El-Rufai’s international passport and made attempts to arrest him at the airport.
