Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fayemi is new Ekiti governor -NEXT

This is a victory for democracy!

There is light at the end of the tunnel and a huge possibility to
push, yes to bend, history and the historical process in the desired
direction. Here AGENCY remains key!

The monumental challenge NOW is HOW to reproduce Thirty-Six fold what

Remember General Giap after Den Bien Phu? What can we do/ should we do
to make another Ekiti happen?

Resistance will Win!

Another Nigeria, an alternative Nigeria, is possible!

A Lutta Continua!!!
