â??If you can't put 60,000 people on the street, you are not serious about opposition â?? Sowore dismisses Peter Obiâ??s political relevance

A former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has doubted the political relevance of politician, Peter Obi and the Labour Party, saying they do not represent real political opposition in Nigeria. Speaking on Channels Televisions Inside Sources on Sunday, May 12, Sowore described Obis political relevance as a temporary phenomenon that failed to challenge the ruling elite. In terms of real opposition, I dont know why anybody refers to Peter Obi as one. He hasnt fought for the mandate he claimed or mobilised his supporters, Sowore said criticising the former Anambra governor for failing to speak out against key national issues like fuel price hikes.  Sowore described the Labour Party as a short rental political platform. What they call Airbnb in America. You move in, check out when your time expires. When theyre done with Peter Obi, theyll move it to someone else, he said. Sowore further suggested Obis popularity during the 2023 elections was rooted in religious sentiment sparked by the APCs controversial Muslim-Muslim ticket. He challenged Obis supporters, sayingIf you cant put 60,000 people in the streets, then youre not serious about opposition. In swift response, the Obidient Movement dismissed Sowores comments as baseless. The National Coordinator of the movement, Yunusa Tanko, defended Obis continued influence, stating that his every move still shapes national discourse. If Peter Obi is not a threat, why do they always talk about him? Whether he speaks or breathes, it makes news. Thats relevance, Tanko said during a phone interview with Channels Television.    The post If you can't put 60,000 people on the street, you are not serious about opposition  Sowore dismisses Peter Obis political relevance appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
