Sowore Stands Firm Against DSS Pressure, Refuses to Retract Tinubu Statement
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore refuses to retract his statement calling President Bola Tinubu a criminal, despite pressure from the Department of State Services (DSS). Sowore stood by his claim that corruption still exists in Nigeria, criticizing the government's actions.
The DSS petitioned social media platforms to deactivate Sowore's accounts after his remarks. Sowore, a former presidential candidate, remains defiant, stating he will not retract his statement until the end of Tinubu's tenure in 2027.
This confrontation highlights the ongoing tensions between activists and the government in Nigeria.
