Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused human rights activist and Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore of owning a mansion in the United States worth $552,000 (approximately ₦885 million).
Olayinka made the allegation in a post shared on his verified X handle on Friday, where he also claimed that Sowore runs the African Action Congress (AAC) as his personal property.
According to him:
“Sowore is the Chairman of AAC political party. He is Presidential Candidate of AAC. He is Financial Secretary of AAC. In fact, he is Sole Proprietor of AAC.
