Omoyele Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and prominent #RevolutionNow activist, has released a list of political figures he claims are pushing Nigerians towards nationwide protests.
In a post on his X account on Sunday, Sowore accused these leaders of fostering conditions that incite public unrest.
Sowore specifically named President Bola Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas as key figures allegedly driving Nigerians to the brink of rioting. He also included Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and Yemi Cardoso, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), among others.
