Omoyele Sowore, convener of #RevolutionNow, has revealed that he never thought he would see his family again when he was imprisoned by the Nigerian government five years ago,
Sowore made this revelation after he arrived in the United States of America after five years to reunite with his family.
This came after a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered that his passport be released after the decision of the Nigerian government to withdraw its treasonable felony case against him four years after it was seized.
He was warmly welcomed by friends and family in the US upon his arrival in the country.
While talking to CBS News about his prison experience, Sowore said, “I can’t even describe it because I never thought I would make it back here.”
He added that his biggest offence “is establishing a media company that exposes corruption because corruption is Nigeria’s biggest problem.”
He said: “Well, my wife can burn the passport but she can’t burn the will to make Nigeria become a democratic, successful and prosperous society.
“I will (go back to Nigeria). There is no going back on making Nigeria a better country.”
