Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has reaffirmed his commitment to speaking against injustice, declaring that no amount of intimidation can silence him. His statement comes in response to a court ruling requiring him to surrender his international passport as part of his bail conditions in a cybercrime case brought by the Nigeria Police after he called the Inspector-General, Kayode Egbetokun, an “illegal IGP.” Sowore dismissed any attempts to suppress his voice, vowing to remain steadfast in defending the rights of Nigerians.
Taking a swipe at former governors Rotimi Amaechi and Nasir El-Rufai, Sowore criticized them as “emergency activists” who only speak out when it serves their political interests. He emphasized that his activism is driven by deep conviction, not political expediency. Addressing his bail conditions, he described them as “mathematical,” leaving the legal complexities to his lawyers but asserting that he remains undeterred in his mission to liberate Nigeria from mediocrity and oppression.
“You can take my passport, but you can’t take my voice,” Sowore declared. “We don’t fight because of elections; we fight because injustice must be confronted. No one can make me disappear—it’s simply not possible.” His resolute stance reinforces his commitment to advocating for the welfare and rights of the Nigerian people, regardless of the obstacles in his path.
