‘Apologise to Nigerians’ – Sowore tackles Amaechi, Peter Obi over fuel subsidy [VIDEO]

In a recent conference debate, presidential candidate of the 2027 African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, harshly criticized Rotimi Amaechi, Peter Obi and other politicians who backed the removal of fuel subsidy. At the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Sowore alleged they had neglected the welfare of Nigerians while defending policies that benefited the political elite.

He challenged Amaechi and Peter Obi to apologize to Nigerians, pointing out their previous positions on the matter. Sowore claimed he had always opposed the removal of fuel subsidy, accusing Amaechi and his political allies of changing their stance only recently. "If anyone has been consistent about not removing our subsidies, it has been me.

And it took Amaechi and his principal almost 10 years to catch up with me," Sowore stated. He further accused the Bola Tinubu government of shifting the impact of its policies onto ordinary Nigerians, making a reference to Peter Obi in the process. "They are robbing Peter Obi to pay for Bola Tinubu," Sowore remarked.
