“Tinubu Is Only Interested in Land Grabs and Loans — Sowore Alleges”
Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has taken a swipe at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing him of being disconnected from Nigeria’s worsening insecurity and economic hardship. Sowore, in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), alleged that the president only pays attention to matters that involve land acquisition, foreign loans, or political maneuvering. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Sowore claimed that Tinubu’s perceived indifference reflects a leadership style he described as negligent and self-serving, especially at a time when Nigerians are grappling with rising violence, inflation, and widespread hardship. According to the former presidential candidate, the administration appears to focus more on issues that benefit the political class rather than address the urgent security concerns affecting citizens nationwide.
He also alleged that Tinubu is using the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, to create political tension in preparation for what he described as a “failed and dead 2027 ambition.” Sowore insisted that the president seems unaware of the realities on the ground, adding that ordinary Nigerians are paying the price for ineffective governance.
Sowore wrote that Tinubu “appears not to even know what’s going on in Nigeria, except where there is land to grab, loans to obtain and steal, and using Nyesom Wike to cause confusion.” He ended the post with the hashtag #TinubuMustGo, calling for the president’s resignation.
His comments reflect growing criticism from citizens who are increasingly frustrated with the direction of the country. Many Nigerians have lamented persistent insecurity, including kidnappings, attacks on communities, and violence spilling across multiple states. Alongside the security crisis, the soaring cost of living and allegations of government corruption continue to fuel public anger.
Sowore’s latest remarks underscore the tense political atmosphere as conversations around the 2027 elections begin to surface. With public dissatisfaction rising, the pressure on the presidency is mounting, and demands for more decisive leadership have intensified across the country.
