Renowned activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has launched a scathing attack on Nigeria’s political elite, declaring that Senate President Godswill Akpabio belongs in prison rather than in office.
In a recent interview on Pulse ‘On The Record’, Sowore criticized the country’s leadership, accusing them of rampant corruption and political manipulation. This discussion is particularly relevant as the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve.
“Someone like Godswill Akpabio should be in prison instead of being elected as Senate President in any sane country,” he stated bluntly, reinforcing his long-standing critique of Nigeria’s political system.
Sowore also distanced himself from the late Chief MKO Abiola, dismissing claims that he was ever a follower of the acclaimed June 12 election winner.
“No, I wasn’t MKO Abiola’s disciple. We had always seen Abiola as part of Nigeria’s problem,” he stated, challenging the narrative surrounding Abiola’s legacy.
Instead, he argued that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the true disciple of Abiola, a claim that has stirred discussions in political circles.
Taking further aim at Tinubu, Sowore dismissed the President’s political stature, asserting that he would outmatch him in any debate. “Even Tinubu that they’re talking about today—he cannot speak when I’m speaking,” he declared, emphasizing his confidence in his debating skills.

Sowore also weighed in on the political turmoil in Rivers State, alleging that a powerful group led by Tinubu orchestrated the crisis. “What happened in Rivers State was a brazen position taken by these cabals, led by Tinubu at the time,” he claimed, further fueling the ongoing debate on Nigeria’s governance.
Sowore’s remarks have added fuel to the ongoing debate on Nigeria’s governance as he continues to challenge the country’s most influential political figures, making it clear that he is a significant voice in the current political discourse.
