Yoruba Group Condemns Sowore Over Attacks On IGP, Others

The Afenifere Youth Coalition has lambasted the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC Omoyele Sowore over what they described as โrelentless attacks on Yoruba public office holdersโ, particularly the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun.
Recall that Sowore, a popular Nigerian activist was recently arrested by the Nigeria Police over his allegation that the IGPโs continued stay in office was illegal.
The activist was arraigned in a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday and was subsequently granted N10 million bail.
Reacting to Soworeโs recent outings, Rasak Oladosu, Director of Strategy and Samuel Isijola, President of the coalition condemned Soworeโs alleged โdefamation, blackmail, and cyberbullyingโ, calling for legal action to hold him accountable.
At a press conference held in Lagos on Friday the coalition accused Sowore of misusing the social media to spread misinformation and incite unrest in the country.
They described Sowore as a โfailed politician and professional troublemakerโ who has built a career in controversy rather than genuine activism.
According to the coalition, Soworeโs presidential ambitions under AAC exposed his lack of leadership capacity, noting the activistโs โinability to secure significant electoral supportโ.
โTo Nigerians, we say, do not be deceived by his theatrics. Sowore does not care about the Nigerian citizens, he only cares about his pockets and anti-democracy sponsors.
โTo his supporters, we caution: Do not allow yourselves to be used by a man whose agenda is purely selfish. Everyone must understand that Social media is not the court of law.
โTo the judiciary and security agencies, we urge: Let the law take its course. Sowore must be held accountable for his reckless and defamatory actions.
โNigeria is bigger than any individual, and we will not allow one manโs selfish agenda to derail the progress and focus of our nation,โ the coalition added.
