Senator Adams Oshiomhole, a former Governor of Edo State, criticized Omoyele Sowore, one of the organizers of the EndBadGovernance protest, calling him a defeated politician.
Oshiomhole, speaking on Arise TV, stated that he does not support the protest and believes President Bola Tinubu is working to address Nigeria’s economic issues.
He also mentioned that he does not recognize any of the individuals behind the ongoing nationwide protest.
“I listen to all those names you mentioned and the others, I don’t know them. Which Nigerian does not know Wole Soyinka? Who didn’t know Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memory? Who doesn’t know Femi Falana?” He said.
“I know Sowore as a defeated presidential candidate. And when you’re defeated in an election, you wait for the man who won the election.
“Give him time. Sowore cannot be seen as speaking for the people because he is still nursing the pain of his defeat.
“So, that’s not the guy to speak for people in Kano, for those people who throw bombs in Maiduguri or those people who hijack cars in.”
