Sowore Critiques Akpabio's Frequent Political Defections

During an interview with Symfoni TV, Omoyele Sowore remarked on Godswill Akpabio's history of political defections, stating that Akpabio has defected more than anyone else in Nigeria. Sowore questioned Akpabio's right to criticize other political parties, particularly in light of Akpabio's own record of switching allegiances.

He referenced the recent defection of former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi to a different political party, suggesting that Akpabio's actions reflect a broader trend in Nigerian politics where loyalty to party principles is often compromised for personal interests. Sowore noted that such defections have become a common practice in Nigeria, indicating a lack of ideological differences among major political parties in the country.

He emphasized that this trend raises concerns about the integrity of political loyalty and the motivations behind party changes.
