Sowore Under Fire After He Tried To ‘Shame’ Peter Obi For ‘Hobnobbing With IBB, OBJ, Others Who Ruined Nigeria’

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and publisher of investigative online tabloid, Sahara Reporters, has come under serious attack on social media including his website after his diatribe against the flag bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, for visiting Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), a former dictator and military Head of State.

Sowore, in a report published in Sahara Reporters, ‘had on Thursday night shared a photograph of Obi with the former dictator who is notorious for annulling the June 12, 1993 election – which was popularly won by the Late Chief MKO Abiola’.

“Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Aliyu Gusau, Abubakar Abdusalam and Ango Abdullahi are Mr. Peter Obi’s “God fathers” the people that ruined Nigeria are the ones fronting for him. May it never happen that we will work with these criminals! #WeCantContinueLikeThis,” Sowore captioned the picture.

www.bigpenngr.com reports that the seething attack on Obi, however has draw the ire of many commenters who lampooned Sowore for descending so low.

Some of the comments on Facebook and the website are reproduced below;

  Oh my Mr. Peter Obi I have been actually thinking less of you, not being an astute politician. These days you are showing me and others that you came prepared. These moves are strategic. Go more and bring Aso Rock to us. Please Peter, please.

  May God give you the power and strengths to channel your energy towards your ambition. And Rest with people’s matter IJN

  #Sowore, Nigeria youths are totally disappointed in you. You thought that we are not aware that your major personal interest for all those protests and youths advocacy is to use Nigeria youths for a personal ambition? I advise you drop your ambition and join the Obident Movement as your Presidential ambition is DEAD IN ARRIVAL.

  Sowore, go and sleep. Your presidential ambition will never take off if all you do is waste your time attacking your opponents. I rather you spend that time promoting yourself and telling Nigerian youths what you can do for them. Right now, Obi is the choosen one and your attacks will make him more popular.

  Sowore,.
  Abeg go rest.

  Of the remaining candidates, Peter Obi is the ONLY one that has any tangible thing to offer Nigerians.

  Besides, if equity was demanded when after 8 years of Buhari (North), we agreed that it should come to the South, then why isn’t that same spirit of equity deployed WITHIN THE SOUTH so that it goes to the SE ??

  Let Truth be told, I’m not even supporting Obi because he’s from the SE, I’m supporting him mainly based on his competency over the others and of course including health – which no one wants to talk about.

    TO: SOWORE

    1. You associated with MKO Abiola. And you are still very fond, and proud of him; and that’s okay, however, Fela called Abiola ITT: International Thief Thief. He was accused of corruption; Abiola was pals with military dictators, including Abacha, Babangida, and all known crooks in Nigeria. Even, Buhari just made Abiola “president of Nigeria” posthumously, which YOU supported, and celebrated. Are Buhari’s hands clean?

    2. You did a similar thing you are doing to Mr. Obi, to Jonathan and his administration, where you pretended that there was no difference between PDP, and APC; between Jonathan and Buhari; and you were the first to “CALL THE ELECTION” for Buhari, before the results were certified, or the elections verified by international observers, yet you deny supporting Buhari. Various videos have surfaced in cyberspace, with you being hailed and praised as hero in the Buhari/APC headquarters the night of the shambolic, fraudulently rigged elections of 2015!

    3. Many people have even gone as far as accusing you of collecting money for your journalism, even though I don’t believe it, it is very hard to defend you, after these inexplicable hatchet jobs, and your inability to choose the truth over falsehood, a qualified person over unqualified ones, youthfulness over old ones, democrats over oligarchs and plutocrats, progress over regression; Jonathan over Buhari; Obi over Tinubu. No all of them are not the same. Some are better than others.

    4. You don’t decide who is corrupt, and who is not; that’s the role of Courts of Law. You can accuse, but you MUST prove in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, first!

  I like your reply. @sowere should promote himself and focus on his campaign. Let’s know why you think we should vote for you instead of Obi, Atiku, Tinubu and co.

  Mr Sowore has not uploaded and submitted his party’s nomination forms to INEC He doesnt have a running mate and as it stands cant be called or addressed as presidential flag bearer. Why is he making noise about Obi’s visit to Obj and IBB?
  Even Jesus was crucified with two thieves by his sides and one of them repented and had salvation before giving up the ghost. Peter Obi could offer them salvation and forgiveness and PO could be the last wishes or requests of these oldies who are remorseful of their evil deeds and who are now lamenting about Nigeria’s decay. They want to witness a messiah who would atone for them while on earth….get over it Sowore

  IBB will never support Tinubu because Tinubu was one of the NADECO pillars that made made life difficult for IBB and forced him to hand over power or “step aside”. Without it, we may not be talking of democracy now. OBJ will also never support Tinubu because Tinubu did not allow him to destroy Federalism when they were in government. They know that ATIKU will never be their boy boy. They are afraid of Tinubu because he has his mind. They know Obi has no choice to be boy boy to them since they are still in charge of the military and he knowd next to nothing about security.

  Why is Sowore so jealous of Peter Obi? Instead of running his own presidential ambition, he is using flashlight to seek out every Peter Obi’s move. Na wah oo. Sowore has nothing to offer. He is a complete agbero. Very shameful behavior. Shameless tout!

  You’re indirectly promoting Peter Obi unknowingly.
