The lawyer in the live video shared on X on Sunday, broke down in tears as he expressed his gratitude to Nigerians for speaking up for him regardless of ethical and religious differences.
“We stopped being humans because we became Nigerians. They divided us and we fell for it.
“Because you wouldn’t see me as a Yoruba man, you spoke for me. Because you wouldn’t see me as a Christian, you spoke for me.
“Because you spoke, Nigeria couldn’t happen to me. The only reason Nigeria couldn’t happen toe is because you spoke.
“You found your voices. I became you. And in our collective, you couldn’t be silenced.”the emotional Farotimi said in the video.
