In a statement posted on his social media handle on Monday, prominent human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has accused Labour Party’s Peter Obi of colluding with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Sowore described Obi as a “fake opposition leader,” stating that the former Anambra State governor is not genuinely opposed to the APC or its leadership.

He stressed that Obi’s political actions are a calculated deception aimed at misleading the public, particularly his supporters, while working behind the scenes in alignment with the current administration.

“The Fake Opposition leader Mr. Peter Obi is not OPPOSED to the APC or Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, just deceiving the gullible and bullying those who know this fact. They’re all working together to keep you humble so that [they] could ride roughshod over you. #RevolutionNow,” Sowore wrote.

Sowore, known for his #RevolutionNow campaign and consistent criticism of government corruption and impunity, has often questioned the credibility of mainstream opposition figures, insisting that only a radical political overhaul can truly deliver change to Nigerians.
