In a candid interview with Pulse “On The Record,” human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore made bold statements about Nigeria’s political landscape. He distanced himself from the late Chief MKO Abiola, asserting that he was never a disciple of the acclaimed June 12 election winner. Sowore claimed that Abiola was part of Nigeria’s systemic issues and suggested that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, not him, could be considered Abiola’s true disciple.
Sowore criticized Tinubu’s political influence, dismissing the notion of deference to the President and asserting his superior grasp of national issues. He confidently stated that Tinubu would be unable to match him in a debate.
The activist also addressed political developments in Rivers State, alleging that Tinubu’s cabal played a significant role in manipulating the state’s political landscape. Furthermore, Sowore took aim at Senate President Godswill Akpabio, bluntly stating that Akpabio’s political trajectory should have landed him in prison rather than at the helm of Nigeria’s legislative arm2.
Sowore’s remarks have reignited discussions about Nigeria’s governance and leadership, positioning him as a fearless critic of the nation’s power players
