VIDEO: Stop Attempting To Silence ‘President’ Sowore – Sultan Of Sokoto Warns FG
During a National Peace Committee event in Abuja, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, publicly acknowledged activist Omoyele Sowore, humorously referring to him as “President Sowore” with a lowercase 'p'. He then expressed hope that Sowore might one day become the actual President of Nigeria. More significantly, the Sultan used the opportunity to caution Nigerian authorities against suppressing dissenting voices, widely interpreted as a reference to the challenges Sowore has faced. He emphasized the importance of allowing critics to express themselves, stating it is healthier for society than repression and invited Sowore to freely express his concerns and opinions to him and government authorities.
