Sowore is not funded by anyone. He actually has a job as a lecturer and runs Sahara Reporters. He attacks everybody no be today.

omohayek:

As Sowore has made clear times without number, he is a member of the Ijaw minority in Ondo State, so how does that make him Tinubu's "brother"? Character assassination is the resort of those who have no rational counter to an argument.

So OMOYELE Sowore is now an Ijaw man just to garner a sense of credibility while carrying water for Tinubu abi? Funny people continue deceiving yourself.

Hahahaha.
Have you heard of MacArthur Foundation?
Read about it and Sahara Reporter.
After reading and you have shame and dignity, you will come and take down that your comment.
Soworo is sponsored to destroy Nigeria to the selfish interest of the West.

If that makes Sowore a Yoruba man, is Peter Obi now also an Englishman? It says something that you'd rather use flimsy reasoning to cling to an obviously false claim, instead of owning up to your error (or at least keeping quiet). All I see in your attempt to smear Sowore is projection of your own inclinations onto him.

During an interview on Noble Nigeria hosted by Noble Eyisi, Sowore explained his principled stance on not aligning with political godfathers in order to win power.

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) Omoyele Sowore has said he refuses to compromise his values for political gain, warning that Nigeria has become “a burial ground for good- intentioned people” where evil is more likely to thrive than virtue.

During an interview on Noble Nigeria hosted by Noble Eyisi, Sowore explained his principled stance on not aligning with political godfathers in order to win power.


‘Peter Obi Was Packaged by the Elite’.

On the subject of Peter Obi, Sowore was unflinching. He described the former Anambra State governor as a “packaged” candidate promoted by the elite to hijack the energy of the #EndSARS movement.

“After #EndSARS, the youth were ripe for power. But the elites knew they had to insert someone they could talk to,” Sowore claimed. “So they gave them Obi, and it was all packaging.”

According to Sowore, Obi is not the revolutionary some people think he is. Sowore also accused Obi’s ers of waging an aggressive information campaign and using social media to silence dissenting voices.

“Obi was portrayed as the face of the youth struggle, but it was a tyranny of the minority,” he said.

“Even Wole Soyinka told me he almost fell for it up to a point. He said I was almost endorsing this guy. And then he woke up one day and his name was all over, and he said he was asking, what did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? It turns out they just picked on him for no reason.

And even though he didn't participate in the election, he became the most ridiculed person after the election. That was what got him upset. And he said, ‘Oh, if this is my last assignment on earth, I'm going to let people know who you people are."

Recounting his own encounters with Obi, Sowore shared personal stories of what he described as hypocrisy and stagecraft.

“When we were running for election, I noticed something about him. If Peter wants to take a private jet, he will go and enter through commercial place and greet everybody. You think? And then they will bring a vehicle and put him to go to the private jet area,” he said.

He narrated how Obi would then switch to the VIP lounge for a private jet. “I was actually expecting that he was driving Innoson motors,” he said.

“Peter Obi had nothing less than 10 big Toyota SUVs waiting for him. And I was telling myself, why do you have to lie? So why do you have to cover up for this? Nobody's going to be upset with you that you are a presidential candidate if you have a convoy.

“But look at this trajectory, and that packaging is his style. And if you want to get away with finding out, then he'll send his people after you.” “I knew him and he knew that I knew him. But there were guys who were against him in those days who didn't have the courage to come out again, because they were afraid of the backlash, and they did a fantastic job of scaring everybody,” he said.

Sowore narrated how Obi once publicly praised him for helping him become governor, but later allowed his associates to smear him and novelist Okey Ndibe with false accusations.

“They printed posters in Anambra calling us gay partners,” he recalled. “That’s when I knew he endorses those rabid online attacks.”

“Information Warfare Worse Than Military Rule”

Sowore warned that the political atmosphere in Nigeria had become dangerously intolerant, comparing the media manipulation around Obi’s rise to tactics seen during the civil war and military rule.

“But there were guys who were against him (Obi) in those days who didn't have the courage to come out again, because they were afraid of the backlash, and they did a fantastic job of scaring everybody,” he said.

He added that many of the youth leaders from EndSARS had been co-opted or silenced, naming popular activists and entertainers who allegedly ed the elite’s plan.

Omoyele Sowore who CLEARLY stated in a video I saw online recently that he is an Ijaw, though his Kiribo community in Ese-Odo LGA is in Ondo State (which they partly share with the Ilaje-Yorubas and Kiribo is a Yoruba-speaking community bearing Yoruba names with a mix of Ijaw culture) is partly correct but Omoyele himself has his own demons because for the last 5 years now, his Sahara Reporters online publication has totally lost focus and regularly publishes sensationalism and outright FALSEHOODS and inconsistencies in so-called investigative reports and you have to do constant fact-checks just like that criminal enterprise called Gazette also does by manipulating the the emotions of the larger part of the gullible masses.

This attitude of misinformation isn't the trait of Omoyele Sowore we used to know from his late 1980s to 1990s student union days in UNILAG and for his near-accurate reports in Sahara Reporters which was considered a credible medium of investigative reports back from the very early 2000s.
