Some civil society organisations (CSOs), led by the Independent Public Service and Accountability Watch (IPSAW), have berated former presidential candidate of the African Alliance Congress (AAC) in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, for attacking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

A few days ago, the President addressed investors in Brazil, where he declared that his reforms and initiatives have left no room for corruption in Nigeria.

But Sowore, on his verified Facebook account, debunked President Tinubu’s statements and called him a liar for declaring Nigeria corruption-free.

Addressing reporters in Abuja, the Leader of the group, Taiwo Olugbenga Adeniran, denounced Sowore for using uncouth language against the President.

Members of the group staged a protest to the headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Justice,  calling for the immediate arrest and incarceration of Sowore.

Speaking during the protest, Adeniran said: “In addressing a duly elected and legitimate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a liar, Sowore has crossed the red lines. This is beyond constructive criticism and opposition politics. This is madness and bitterness taken too far.

“Of course, freedom of expression is sacred, but it is not a licence for lunacy. Our constitution protects speech, not sabotage. Omoyele Sowore’s actions are not activism but a deliberate assault on Nigeria’s soul. Branding our nation as hell abroad is not dissent; it is betrayal.

“For someone who aspired to be the President of this country, Sowore doesn’t build Nigeria’s image; he defaces it. He is not aiming for a better Nigeria but an opportunity to settle scores with political rivals and mislead a few gullible Nigerians.
