“You Have Crossed The Rubicon”: Sowore Under Fire For Calling Tinubu Criminal

Published

on

Some Nigerians on the social media platform Facebook have criticised opposition figure Omoyele Sowore

Sowore faulted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s claim of alleged defeat of corruption, a longstanding Nigerian problem

However, Sowore’s use of “criminal” in his description of President Tinubu has caused anger in some quarters

Legit recalls that President Tinubu recently said his reforms have sounded the death knell on corruption in Nigeria.

Speaking to investors in Brazil on Tuesday, August 26, Tinubu said his reforms have made the Nigerian economy more competitive, boosted revenue, and strengthened the nation’s finances.

Tinubu said: “It is necessary to emphasise here that the reforms I’ve embarked upon since I took over in Nigeria have been very impactful.

“I can beat my chest for that. It was initially painful, but today the result is blossoming. It’s getting clearer to the people. We have more money for the economy — no more corruption.

“We have the central bank governor here; you don’t have to know him before you get the foreign exchange you need.

“The speculators are out in our currency market. The door is open for business. Easy in, easy out.”

Legit.ng reports that since taking office in May 2023, Tinubu has introduced a raft of economic policies that have elicited mixed reactions.

The president unified Nigeria’s multiple foreign exchange (FX) windows to enhance forex market stability. Tinubu also ended the petrol subsidy regime, which he described as unsustainable and a stranglehold on Nigeria’s economy.

Sowore disagrees with Tinubu
Reacting to President Tinubu’s claim in Brazil, Sowore, a critic of successive Nigerian governments, insisted that corruption is still a challenge in the country.

He wrote on his verified Facebook page, with an accompanying video of the president’s speech in Brazil:

“This criminal actually went to Brazil to state that there is NO MORE corruption under his regime in Nigeria. What audacity to lie shamelessly!”

“Kingship Will Become A Political Office, Rulers Will Be Replaced In Their Lifetime” – Primate Ayodele

Published

on

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has revealed that he foresees that kingship will become more of a political office rather than a traditional office in Nigeria.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele stated that traditional rulers will be replaced in their lifetime, unlike the normal procedure, which requires that a king dies before the emergence of another.

He made it known that traditional stools will be disrespected and reduced to nothing because of politics, stating that many of the rulers will be taken for granted, while the government will start looking down on them.

“They will be relegated because of politics, they will be forced to be into politics, or they will lose relevance. There will be a time when a traditional ruler will not have to die before another one emerges, the stools will be politicized because they won’t bother to consult oracles, it will become a political office.”

“Some prominent kings, including Emirs, Obis, Obas, Ezes, will be reduced to nothing because their local government will start controlling them. Some of them will be taken for granted, and the government will start looking down on them.”

The prophet explained that traditional rulers will be imprisoned and arrested in Nigeria, stating that respect for them will drastically decrease. He made it known that they will be relegated because of politics.

“There will be so much politics that will come into the stool regardless of the class, and I see them losing relevance. In Nigeria, some kings will be arrested and imprisoned; I am seeing bad days ahead for traditional rulers.”

“The honour and respect given to rulers will drastically reduce. I see a kind of reform by the government to seriously checkmate the traditional rulers.”
