Omoyele Sowore, the popular Nigerian human rights activist and 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has accused Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu of deceiving Nigerians about his economic austerity measures.
In a post shared on his X handle on Wednesday, Sowore questioned Tinubu’s claim that his friends had curtailed their luxurious lifestyles following the removal of the fuel subsidy.
Tinubu had reportedly cited an example on national television of a friend who had four Rolls-Royces and switched to a Honda as a sign of support for his policies.
Sowore, however, dismissed the narrative as disingenuous, accusing Tinubu of failing to lead by example.
He said Tinubu claimed that his friends downscaled their lifestyles, Tinubu has upgraded his own—from using a Dassault Falcon 7X jet to acquiring a $150 million jumbo A330-240 jet.
He noted that the President also purchased a yacht and an Escalade SUV.
The activist further alleged that Tinubu claimed that his close allies have seen unprecedented prosperity over the past year, citing billionaire businessman Gilbert Chagoury as an example.
According to him, Tinubu’s friends have never been richer, Sowore noted, describing the President’s account as a tale of deceit.
Sowore said, “’My friend went from driving 4 Rolls Royces to driving Honda’ - Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
"LAMBA of the year. Tinubu went from flexing in a Dassault Falcon 7X jet to a jumbo Presidential $150 million jumbo A330-240 jet, he bought himself a yacht and even upgraded his car to a beast Escalade SUV! Who is fooling who?
"All his -Tinubu friends have been more prosperous in the last year than ever. Ask Chagoury! Liars shall not make heaven! #RevolutionNow #MerryChristmas," he said..
