He should face the music; Security Agencies asked to arrest Sowore, over derogatory post on President Tinubu
A civil society organization has urged security agencies to arrest and prosecute activist Omoyele Sowore for allegedly describing President Bola Tinubu as a “criminal and a liar.”
In a statement yesterday, the General Secretary of the Leadership Centre for Civil and Post-Trauma Rehabilitation, Agbi Manzo Abubakar, said Sowore should face legal consequences for his comments against the President.
Abubakar stated that Sowore has a history of insulting senior public figures, including governors, ministers, and the Inspector General of Police, and has now directed his attacks toward the presidency.
He said, “We hereby call for the arrest, thorough interrogation, and prosecution of Omoyele Sowore for his failure to recognise that freedom of expression ends where the rights of others begin.
“Any attempt to label the President a criminal is a crossing of the red line.
“Enough is enough. These orchestrated assaults on the President’s character, integrity, and track record have gone beyond the limits of tolerance and decency.”
Besides praising President Tinubu’s leadership, which he described as a “grass-to-grace” story and a beacon of hope in Nigerian governance, he highlighted his bold policy reforms, which, according to him, have brought clarity and progress to national administration.
“President Tinubu’s reforms have essentially cleansed the Augean stables. His achievements have captured the imagination of Africa and the world, proving that transformational leadership is possible on the continent,” he added.
According to him, the President has introduced unparalleled governance frameworks, along with exemplary administrative, accounting, and auditing practices, setting a new benchmark for leadership in Nigeria.
He said, “These governance templates will serve for all times and across all climes. They stand as models for effective leadership.”
He also called on Nigerians, regardless of their social or political affiliations, to stand up in defence of the presidency and Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
“Enough is enough. We must unite to protect the Office of the President and the integrity of our democracy from those who seek to tear it down.
“The Leadership Centre for Civil and Post-Trauma Rehabilitation reaffirms its unwavering support for President Tinubu and pledges to continue to defend the presidency against what it describes as all forms of malicious attacks,” he said.
