Presidential Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) and activist, Omoyele Sowore has launched a scathing criticism of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu following his inability to see Nnamdi Kanu jailed leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).
Sowore, in a statement on his verified X account, revealed that although he had received an invitation from Kanu to visit him while he was in DSS custody, the security agency, after causing delays for hours, ultimately informed him that he would not be allowed to meet with the IPOB leader.

Sowore stated that this marks the second instance in which he has been denied access to Kanu. This has prompted him to draw parallels between the administration of President Tinubu and that of former President Buhari, characterizing both as exhibiting intolerance.
His post reads, “#FreeNnamdiKanuNow I spend several hours at the @OfficialDSSNG headquarters in Abuja, I was invited by Onyedu @MaziNnamdiKanu to pay him a visit in custody, however, after hours of rigmarole the DSS told me I can’t see him today.
“This is the second time I am being denied lawfully ordered visitation to Mazi since his illegal abduction from Kenya. The @officialABAT regime continue to demonstrate intolerance towards lawful agitation for self-determination. Tinubu is not different from @MBuhari. #Revolutiinnow”
