Enemies Of Nigeria Are Endorsing Peter Obi- Sowore Tackles Obasanjo, Edwin Clark, Others Over Endorsement

The endorsement of presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Dr. Peter Obi by former president Olusegun Obasanjo and other eminent Nigerians does not seem to go down well with Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of Action Alliance Congress, AAC.

Sowore who said he would have preferred an endorsement by Nigerians revealed that he saw Obasanjo and those who are endorsing Obi as enemies of Nigeria.

The right activist took to the micro-blogging platform Twitter to explain that he would rather prefer an endorsement by millions of Nigerians who have no billions of cash.

The AAC flag bearer in a video on his Twitter handle pointed out that accepting an endorsement from Obasanjo or Babangida would be unfair to the people of Odi and Zaki Ibiam as well as slain journalist Dele Giwa.

Obi’s endorsement by Obasanjo has been the topic of discussion in the political space since the entrance of the new year as it has stirred several reactions, comments, and counter comments.

However, Sowore, noted that he would rather be endorsed by those who fought against SAP and participants of the EndSARs protest or be endorsed by the northern talakawa who have been attacked by Boko Haram, Bandits and Iswap, rather than those he described as the enemies of Nigeria.

He advanced that “Total liberation is the only solution for Nigeria. Of course I want to win as president of Nigeria but it is not about my ambition but about the people of Nigeria hovering in their pain and anguish in their millions languishing in insecurity, hunger and starvation. 

“I won’t be able to take the endorsement of Obasanjo and Gen Ibrahim Babangida.

“I will rather be endorsed by the very masses who have not billions of naira in their accounts but are in their millions. I would rather be endorsed by the oppressed who beat the brunt of this vulcaniser economy, which has been imposed on our people and has brought untold hardship.”

Sowore also wrote on Twitter that “Some are desperate to be endorsed by the enemies of our people.

“Obasanjo’s repeated endorsement of @peterobi shows once again that the overrated three-time Nigerian ruler fetishises the ruination of Nigeria.

“For us, we crave and are satisfied with the endorsements of the people of Nigeria.
