Nigeria repeatedly used as health insurance for tired presidents — Sowore

African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised the reception accorded President Bola Tinubu following his return to Nigeria after about a month in Europe.

According to DAILY POST, Sowore made the remarks in an X post while sharing a video of Tinubu being welcomed at the airport on Tuesday.

Sowore alleged that Nigeria had repeatedly been used as “health insurance” for presidents whom he described as “sickly and worn-out.”

“We’ve been here before: Nigeria is repeatedly used as health insurance for sickly and worn-out presidents, who are then packaged and presented to the public in staged airport ceremonies while the same failed performances are repeated and the country is further destroyed,” Sowore wrote.

He compared the Tinubu administration with those of former Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Muhammadu Buhari, alleging a similar pattern.

“The same actors during the Umaru Yar’Adua and Muhammadu Buhari administrations and now Tinubu,” he added.

Sowore further criticised those behind the reception, writing: “No shame, no regrets and they want you to move on as though nothing is wrong.”
