Sowore Dismisses Wike As “A Drunkard, Land Grabber, Murderer”

By Charles Igbo

Without a blink of the eyes, a former Presidential Aspirant, and Publisher of the Online SaharaReporters, Omoyele Sowore, on Thursday, descended on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, and dismissed him with choice unflattering words.

Sowore was reacting to the Minister’s comment that he,  Sowore, was lucky  that the person he called a criminal is  President Bola Tinubu, a man he described as one with a forgiving heart.

Recall that Sowore has been  dragged to Court by the Directorate of State Services, DSS, for calling President Tinubu a criminal.

At once stunned and shocked that Sowore could, publicly, without provocation or proof, call Tinubu a criminal, the DSS ordered him to pull down his post, retract the statement and apologise publicly for his choice of words. But it was an order Sowore ignored, prompting the DSS to drag him and two others – Meta and X to Court.

However, Wike in his comments, said Sowore was lucky it was Tinubu with a forgiving heart; that there are people he would not dare label criminals because he would not be that lucky with them.

In a swift response to Wike, Sowore doubled down on the untidy name he called the President and interpreted Wike’s reaction as a threat to murder him. Then, he descended on the Minister and called him a  “murderer, a thief, land grabber and a drunkard.”

Sowore, also, said that but for the attitude of Nigerians, Wike should have been at The Hague answering questions for his alleged atrocities.

Sowore: “If Nigerians weren’t so docile, complacent, and cowardly, criminals, thieves and murderers like Wike would never have any leadership roles in this country. SAD! Wike stole land in Abuja, Wike robbed the people of Rivers State, and Wike massacred Igbos at Obigbo. Wike should be in The Hague at the International Criminal Court.”

Sowore, also, doubled down on his opinion of the President and described him as unfit to rule Nigeria, and again tagged him “a criminal”, and insisted Nigeria is being ruled by people of questionable character.

There was no response yet from Wike, or his fiery Media Aide Olayinka Lere, over Sowore bombs thrown at the FCT Minister at the time of filing this report.
