The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday said the Southeast does not need former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore’s theatrics to push for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
It said Sowore’s planned protest calling for Kanu’s release is an insult to the people of the Southeast, adding that the region doesn’t need a “political wanderer in borrowed robes to define their interests or struggles.”
Sowore is currently mobilizing Nigerians from all strata for a protest march to the Presidential Villa to demand Kanu’s release on October 20.
However, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, the spokesman of the state chapter of the APC, said Sowore has demonstrated his uncanny ability to trivialize serious national issues in his endless pursuit of attention and cheap popularity.
In a statement he signed, Oladejo said the party has observed with utter disbelief the latest political theatre staged by Omoyele Sowore under the banner of a “Release Nnamdi Kanu” protest, noting that the “self-acclaimed revolutionary has, once again, demonstrated his uncanny ability to trivialize serious national issues in his endless pursuit of attention and cheap popularity.”

He said: “It is both baffling and laughable that Sowore, a man with no cultural or political connection to the Southeast, now parades himself as the rallying point of Ndigbo. It is sheer mockery and an insult to a people of deep intellect, courage, and history, for him to imagine that he can speak for or lead Ndigbo at this time and age.
“Why is Sowore weeping more than the bereaved? Why is he pontificating loudly on a matter that is already before a court of competent jurisdiction? Is this about justice, or merely another desperate audition for public relevance?
“The same Sowore who endlessly chants the mantra of democracy and rule of law now openly undermines both by inciting protests over a case that is actively being handled by the judiciary. This contradiction exposes his activism as a theatre of convenience, noisy, shallow and opportunistic.
“Ndigbo do not need a political wanderer in borrowed robes to define their interests or struggles. They know their leaders, they understand their challenges, and they are perfectly capable of engaging the system with wisdom and dignity, not with Sowore’s brand of social media dramatics.”
Oladejo reminded Sowore that matters before the court are not to be tried on the streets or debated in his endless livestreams.
He said: “The rule of law must take its full course, as that is the only path to lasting justice and national order, principles that the APC government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains steadfastly committed to.
“In the final analysis, Sowore’s latest antics only expose his restlessness and craving for relevance. The more he forces himself into every national conversation, the more obvious it becomes that he stands for nothing beyond his own noise.
“We urge Nigerians to ignore his circus. Sowore should stop playing the town crier of a village that never sent him on any errand.”
