Sowore Blasts Tinubu, Buhari, Osinbajo, Service Chiefs Over Oil theft

The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a confused man.
Sowore made this known in a tweet on Friday, June 2, 2023, while reacting to the President’s directive to service chiefs and heads of security and intelligence agencies on Thursday to deal with perpetrators of oil theft.
Recall that the President had on Thursday, during his maiden official meeting with service chiefs and intelligence heads, led by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Lucky Irabor, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, directed service chiefs and heads of security and intelligence agencies to “crush” perpetrators of oil theft, saying his administration would not tolerate the menace.
Tinubu also said that on his watch, insecurity would not bring Nigeria to its knees while other countries record achievements in key sectors of their economies.
Reacting, Sowore, who seems to believe the directive would be futile, described the president as a “very confused” individual.
The AAC chieftain alleged that the service chiefs and heads of security and intelligence agencies are also “professionally and massively” engaged in the oil theft menace.
He wrote, “This @officialABAT is confused! Very confused! He is asking those “professionally” and massively carrying out oil theft to crush those involved in “oil theft!”
Speaking further, the activist spared no words in condemning the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari and his vice president, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
According to him, the duo’s (Buhari and Osinbajo’s) administration was a total failure.
He wrote: “Failure par excellence! The end of an error! @ProfOsinbajo returned back from Abuja having done absolutely nothing to make Nigeria better than he met it! @ProfOsinbajo and @MBuhari destroyed Nigeria as a tag team. As my secondary school principal used to say: “Bose Lo, Lose Bo!” (BL,LB) -(He went empty handed and returned empty handed).”

BREAKING: Rhodes-Vivour Aide Attacked as Police, Thugs Disrupt ADC Declaration (Video)

Violence erupted on Saturday in Lagos during the planned declaration of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s former governorship candidate, into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Suspected thugs, allegedly backed by security operatives, disrupted the event, attacking supporters and injuring Rhodes-Vivour’s personal photographer and aid.
Eyewitnesses report that police, accompanied by armed groups, blocked access to the planned venue for Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour’s ADC declaration, despite prior payment.
Rhodes-Vivour was reportedly informed that the order came “from above,” directing him to seek resolution with the Police Commissioner.
The area was heavily militarized overnight, with soldiers and DSS operatives joining the police to restrict movement.
The actions against Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour’s planned ADC declaration have ignited outrage among his supporters, who perceive the incident as a deliberate attempt to thwart his move.
Sources indicate that Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, was expected to attend the event.
The disruption follows reports of violence against ADC supporters in various locations across the country.
Watch the moment Rhodes Vivour’s aid was beaten as police, thugs frustrate ADC declaration:
