Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has berated President Bola Tinubu over his comment on hunger in Nigeria.
NEWSNGR reports that Tinubu, while speaking at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, had said hunger existed in Nigeria long before his birth.
He was defending his economic record by noting that he inherited past national liabilities.
The president also addressed the country’s economic trajectory, population growth, and reform outcomes.
However, speaking via a post on 𝕏, Sowore described Tinubu’s submission as clueless.
He questioned if Tinubu came into power to perpetuate generational hunger or to end it.
Sowore wrote: “This @officialABAT man is clueless. Did he campaign to perpetuate generational hunger or to end it?
“If hunger existed before you were born, @officialABAT, wasn’t that exactly why you sought power, to end it?
“It has always been a known fact that you and your ilk sought power to perpetuate hunger. #TinubuMustGO #Sowore2027.”
Meanwhile, Sowore has berated the Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, over his latest directive on political campaign advertising permit fees.
NEWSNGR reports that the Abia State Structures for Signages and Advertising Agency (ABSSAA) had, during a Stakeholders Forum on Wednesday, announced that presidential candidates will pay ₦200 million, while governorship candidates will be required to pay ₦150 million for political campaign advertising fees.
Senatorial candidates are also expected to pay ₦100 million, while candidates for the House of Representatives and State House of Assembly would pay ₦50 million and ₦20 million, respectively.
Reacting in a post on his 𝕏 account on Thursday, Sowore described Otti as a ‘massive scam.’
“Alex C. Otti has become one of Nigeria’s biggest political disappointments. @alexottiofr is a massive scam, and the full extent of that scam is still unraveling,” Sowore wrote.
