Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 elections, Omoyele Sowore has rejected an apology offered by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to the country as his administration comes to a close.
President Buhari, on Friday, asked Nigerians to forgive him, especially those he may have wronged while discharging his duties.
But Sowore took to his official twitter handle to express his dissatisfaction with the President’s plea for forgiveness, accusing him of unjustly detaining and imprisoning many Nigerians, encouraging violence, and creating division through religious bigotry and ethnicity.
“You denied Nigerians of a decent life, you denied children, women, men -old and young- an opportunity to live and thrive.
“You destroyed businesses, you took innocent lives, you destroyed the educational sector, you deprived the sick and infirm of an opportunity to be nursed to health. You unjustly detained and imprisoned many.
“You encouraged violence where you couldn’t carry it out yourself. You created division through religious bigotry and ethnicity. Yourself, your family members, cronies and members of your cabal perpetrated untold corruption”, Sowore tweeted.
