Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress’s (AAC) presidential candidate, has blasted President Bola Tinubu’s reception upon his return to Nigeria after spending almost a month overseas.
Sowore shared a video of Tinubu being greeted at the airport and responded with a post on X.
He claimed that Nigeria has frequently been utilised as “health insurance” for “sickly and worn-out” leaders.
Sowore remarked, “We’ve been here before: Nigeria is frequently used as health insurance for sick and exhausted presidents, who are then packaged and presented to the public in staged airport ceremonies while the same failed performances are repeated and the country is further destroyed.”
He claimed that Tinubu’s administration followed the similar pattern as those of former Presidents Muhammadu Buhari and Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
“The same actors from Muhammadu Buhari’s and Umaru Yar’Adua’s administrations, and now Tinubu,” he continued.
Sowore also attacked the organisers of the reception, claiming that they anticipated Nigerians would move on without challenging the circumstances.
He wrote, “They want you to move on as though nothing is wrong and they have no shame or regrets.”
