“I said my own and piece…… everyone has their opinions but unfortunately some monkeys are masturbating and doing soapy on my CS….😂😂😂

🧭 Context: The Road to 2027
While no official declaration has been made by Omoyele Sowore regarding 2027, he remains a consistent voice in Nigerian politics, especially among youths and pro-democracy advocates. His radical, anti-establishment stance has often earned him both admiration and criticism.
Peter Obi, on the other hand, has continued to engage Nigerians on issues of governance, fiscal transparency, and reforms, though he has yet to confirm his political plans for 2027.
