Joe Igbokwe, Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asked human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore to retract and apologise for remarks he made describing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a criminal.
Igbokwe disclosed this his in an opinion piece titled, “my 10 kobo advice to Omoyele Sowore” said, “When you call a President we all elected a criminal it is at once telling us that more 200 millions are criminals. This is unacceptable. It is unbelievable.
“It is a joke taking to a frightening dimension. It is kindergarten and at best horrible. I have asked you as a friend to retract this nonsensical effusions and openly apologize to the President and Nigeria. This is our irredeemable minimum demand. Let the world know I have advised Sowore as a friend”.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not his mate. The President is an international Chattered Accountant, international scholar in the best tradition, former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Former Governor of Nigeria’s economic nerve centre called Lagos State for 8 yrs, and now the President of Nigeria, the biggest, the most populated Country in Africa and the most endowed.
“Nobody body living or dead in Nigeria has touched lives across Nigeria the way PBAT has done in the past 30 years”, according to Igbokwe.
While criticising Sowore’s career path since his student activist, Igbokwe said, “I got to know Sowore through my good friend Mr Peter Claver”.
“Both of them graduated from the University of Lagos. We have been friends for years and we have reasoned together and interacted for years”, the APC Chieftain said, “Apart from being the President of UNILAG Student Union I have recorded any significant progress since he left Akoka apart from Aluta Continua business and life on the streets. These activities are getting diminished everyday and does not make sense to people like us again”.
