Sowore has named politicians and government appointees inciting public riots and protests.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the 2023 African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has named those inciting the public to riot.
Recall that in a lengthy tweet published on his X account on Saturday, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, and his supporters of spreading the hashtags, alleging that “They are not democrats but anarchists”.

“If they understand the meaning of their hashtags, they will realise they are clarion calls for treason. Wanting to end an elected government is high treason. Wanting revolution is a call for a coup d’etat, which is also high treason,” said the Presidential aide.
Onanuga, however, floated a Save-Nigeria-Rally from August 1-15, 2024, in response to plans for nationwide protests from August 1-10 against the rising cost of living and economic hardship.
He claimed that those organising the protests were also behind the #EndSARS protests of October 2020, which later turned violent.
“The protest planners are also the same people who were instigated by IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to launch the destructive EndSARS protest in Nigeria in October 2020. EndSARS began as a genuine protest by youths against the Police Special Anti-Robbery Squad, notorious for its high-handedness.
“IPOB members planning to extricate the South East region from Nigeria infiltrated the protest and hijacked it for their own agenda. Lagos still bears the scar of the malicious destruction by IPOB elements to this day. Two years after EndSARS, the IPOB, and the gullible innocents joined the Labour Party in 2022 to support Peter Obi, a sympathiser of their cause. They are the people spreading the hashtags #EndBadGovernance, #TinubuMustGo, and #Revolution2024. They are not democrats but anarchists,” he said.
Onanuga accused the protest organisers of lacking the patience to wait for another election in 2027, but instead wanting to “destabilise Nigeria by staging a civilian coup against President Bola Tinubu.”
Reacting to Onanuga’s outburst, Sowore has taken to his official verified Twitter page tweet: “This is the list of those inciting the public to riot, they are as follows:
1. Ahmed Bola Tinubu: For engaging in massive corruption, election rigging, and destroying the middle and lower class by terrible economic policy decisions since coming to oower may 29th 2023.
2. Senator Akpabio and House of Reps Speaker for leading the most useless Senate and HOR.
