You Have Become Mr Protester Of Nigeria While Your Wife Is Slaving Away In America – Igbokwe Blasts Sowore Over Tinubu’s ‘Criminal’ Comment

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has urged activist Omoyele Sowore to withdraw his comment describing President Bola Tinubu as a criminal.

Speaking via a post shared on 𝕏, Igbokwe expressed shock that Sowore would call a sitting President a criminal.

He advised the former presidential candidate to apologise to Tinubu and Nigerians who elected him into power.

Igbokwe argued that nobody living or dead in Nigeria has touched lives like Tinubu has in the last 30 years.

He wrote: “I got to know Sowore through my good friend Mr Peter Claver. Both of them graduated from the University of Lagos. We have been friends for years and we have reasoned together and interacted for years.

“However I was stunned into disbelief and in total shock when he called a seating President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, PBAT a criminal.

“I advised him to withdraw the shameful scurrilous drivels and apologize to the President. Up till now he has not found the need to apologize to the President and Nigerians who elected him as president.

“PBAT is not his mate. The President is an international Chattered Accountant, an international scholar in the best tradition, former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, former Governor of Nigeria’s economic nerve center called Lagos State for 8 yrs, and now the President of Nigeria, the biggest, the most populated country in Africa and the most endowed.

“Nobody body living or dead in Nigeria has touched lives across Nigeria the way PBAT has done in the past 30 years. Go and verify. Go and ask questions. Go and do due diligence.

“Apart from being the President of UNILAG Student Union I have not recorded any significant progress since he left Akoka apart from Aluta Continua business and life on the streets. He moves from police station to another, from one court to another, from one detention camp to another and nothing more.

“He has become Mr Protester of Nigeria while his American wife is slaving in USA with the Children. Sowore cannot continue to waste his precious gift of life on the streets on acrimony and division.

“These activities are getting diminished everyday and does not make sense to people like us again. He has been playing a dangerous game, he is becoming too arrogant and at best silly. I urge my friend Sowore to rethink and stop this walk on the streets that has become irrelevant and at best a non event.

“When you call a President we all elected a criminal it is at once telling us that 200 millions are criminals. This is unacceptable. It is unbelievable.

“It is a joke taking to a frightening dimension. It is kindergarten and at best horrible. I have asked you as a friend to retract this nonsensical effusions and openly apologize to the President and Nigerians. This is our irreducible minimum demand. Let the world know I have advised Sowore as a friend.”

September 26, 2026

By

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, says public officers steal funds every minute.

Olukoyede spoke in Abuja on Thursday at the 80th birthday celebration of former Attorney-General of the Federation, Kanu Agabi.

He stated that the anti-graft agency receives over 20,000 corruption petitions every year, describing the scale of the theft detailed in many cases as shocking.

“I receive over 20,000 petitions in a year in respect to public corruption, all terrible. What is going on? Like every minute, public officers take money, and if you go through some of our case files you will weep.

“The way people take national resources and Nigerians are victims of these fraudulent activities. And we must come together for once in our lifetime and say no to the activities of some of our leaders,” Olukoyede said.

The EFCC boss noted that some public officers assume office with less than ₦100,000 in their accounts, but within three years, the agency traces millions of dollars to them.

He added that some individuals acquire hundreds of houses while in office, warning that corruption is crippling the nation.

Olukoyede stressed that public officers must be held accountable for their time in office, emphasizing that transparency must remain the guiding standard in public service.

Court rejects suit seeking fresh police investigation into late singer Mohbad’s death

September 26, 2026

By

The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to compel the Nigeria Police Force to conduct a fresh investigation into the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the case filed by the Registered Trustees of Break the Silence Foundation in a judgment delivered on Thursday, ruling that the foundation lacked the legal capacity to institute the suit.

The judge also described the application as speculative and lacking sufficient merit, noting that the foundation failed to produce the original police investigation report to support its claim that the earlier investigation was inadequate.

Justice Omotosho further cautioned lawyers handling ongoing cases against discussing matters before the court during media interviews or on social media, describing such conduct as professional misconduct.
