The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Omoyele Sowore, has criticized Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide, for condemning those advocating for the release of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Reacting to Ahmad’s comments, Sowore took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to express his disapproval. He accused Ahmad of reflecting the views of his political allies and benefactors. According to Sowore, Ahmad and his associates treat Nigeria as if it were their private property.
“This fellow @BashirAhmaad is speaking the mind of his benefactors. When @Mbuhari was in power, @MaziNnamdiKanu was one of the reasons he would get openly aggressive and upset,” Sowore wrote. “Truth is that @BashirAhmaad just didn’t wake up to make this egregious statement. He represents a tendency in Nigeria where they assume the country is their private real estate, and only they determine what could happen inside it.”
Sowore further argued that Nnamdi Kanu is being unjustly held by what he described as “feudal characters” and stands no chance of receiving a fair trial. He alleged that the legal proceedings against Kanu are a mere facade to justify his indefinite detention.
“It is the reason why I have consistently stated that @MaziNnamdiKanu is being held hostage by these feudal characters. He stands no chance of getting ‘justice’ in a court of law. The court cases are just a charade meant to create an impression that he’s in indefinite detention as a result of these bogeys they label as charges,” Sowore added.
This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s release and the differing perspectives on justice and governance in the country. ...CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE➤
