Sowore Alleges Nigerian Government Orchestrating Protests Against Him

Omoyele Sowore, an activist and former presidential candidate, claims the Nigerian government is behind recent street protests in Abuja targeting him.

Sowore stated that this is the second such protest in a week, following the May 22 takedown of his Facebook page. He believes these actions are designed to incite hostility toward him. He noted that the protesters appeared to be reading from a script, labelling him “unpatriotic” for his criticisms of corruption, incompetence, and misgovernance. Sowore also linked the ongoing seizure of his passport to this alleged campaign against him.

Despite these challenges, Sowore remains steadfast, declaring that the fight for national liberation is “irreversible.”
