Former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has criticized former governors of Kaduna and Rivers States, Nasir El-Rufai and Rotimi Amaechi, referring to them as “emergency activists.”
Sowore made the statement in a video shared on his X handle on Friday. The footage captured him addressing journalists shortly after a judge granted his bail application on Thursday.
The human rights advocate reaffirmed his dedication to prioritizing the welfare of Nigerians, emphasizing his ongoing commitment to social justice and public interest.
“We aren’t doing it because the elections are coming. We are not emergency activists, like the ones that started yesterday: El-Rufai, Amaechi, and the rest of them. We do this as a matter of conviction. It’s our body clock that reminds us about injustice, not election calendars. We know the police are interested in my passport, and the judge asked me to deposit my passport. You can take away my passport, but you can’t take away my right. You can’t shut me up; you can’t make me disappear; it’s not possible,” he said.
