Human rights activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has attacked Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, asserting that he belongs in prison rather than in office.
Sowore who spoke on Pulse’s ‘On The Record,’ criticized the country’s leadership, accusing it of corruption and political manipulation.
“Someone like Godswill Akpabio should be in prison instead of being elected as Senate President in any sane country,” he said, in consistency with his long-standing critique of Nigeria’s political system.
Sowore also said he was never a follower of the late Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election.
He declared, “No, I wasn’t MKO Abiola’s disciple. We had always seen Abiola as part of Nigeria’s problem.”
Sowore said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the true disciple of Abiola.
He however dismissed the President’s political stature, asserting that he (Sowore) would outmatch him in any debate.
“Even Tinubu that they’re talking about today—he cannot speak when I’m speaking,” he said
