How Omoyele Sowore Reacted After President Tinubu Gifted $100,000 To Super Falcons
Like some Nigerians, Sowore has his reservations and took to his Facebook page to express his displeasure.
Omoyele Sowore, the Nigerian publisher and former presidential candidate, has lamented that life treats officers of the Nigeria Police Force with harsh and unfair conditions.
Sowore stated this via his social media page while reacting to the N150 million gift President Tinubu on behalf of the Federal government doled out to each of the Super Falcons for winning this year’s Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title and bringing it home for the 10th time.
Like some Nigerians, Sowore has his reservations and took to his Facebook page to express his displeasure.
The activist who recently joined retired police officers to stage a protest in Abuja over their delayed payment in pension and gratuity, wrote: ‘’Life is brutally unfair to Nigeria Police Force @policeng officers!
Super Falcons won WAFCON, trained for 1 year, played for 1 month, were rewarded with $100,000 (N150million) each and houses!
Police officers protected them for decades, worked 35 years, retired with $1,500 (N2million as gratuity), no houses, no medicals, and a little pension!
The President or the Governor who handed the awards? $1 BILLION in gratuity, lifetime pension, homes everywhere, full medicals!
