Political tensions flared as activist and politician Omoyele Sowore publicly accused Labour Party’s Peter Obi of deliberately avoiding the recent #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protest.
The accusation was made on social media, where Sowore claimed Obi’s absence was not a coincidence but a calculated move.
According to Sowore, Obi refused to join the demonstration calling for the release of the detained IPOB leader due to concerns that Sowore would “steal the show.”
“He didn’t want to be outshone,” Sowore stated, suggesting the former presidential candidate was motivated by political image rather than principle.
There has been no immediate public response from Peter Obi or his camp regarding the allegations. The incident highlights the complex political dynamics surrounding the detention of Nnam
di Kanu.
