Wike Criticizes Buhari Over Sowore-Tinubu Controversy - Rule of Law Debate

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike criticized the lack of action by President Buhari against AAC Presidential Candidate Omoyele Sowore for his comments about Bola Tinubu. Sowore accused Tinubu of corruption, leading to a legal battle.

FCT Minister highlighted the importance of respecting the rule of law in the situation. The controversy stems from Sowore's tweet alleging corruption by Tinubu during a visit to Brazil.

The DSS filed a criminal suit against Sowore for defamation. The Minister suggested that Sowore was fortunate the President respected the rule of law.

The incident raises concerns about freedom of speech and political tensions ahead of the 2023 elections.
