The Sowore that I have known closely for about a decade, is the last person in this country that can be compromised. For anyone to now paint a man who has spent the last 30 years of his life fighting for a better Nigeria as the enemy of the people is offensive. It's unacceptable.

You can always disagree with his strategy respectfully. We are all victims of elite manipulation. The Buhari regime wants you to see him as your enemy. They have told you that because he contested election, he has no right to demand for a better country. Does that make sense?
If only you can hold politicians who have ruined this country to the same standard you are holding Sowore. You keep saying that he should not talk about Revolution Now. Isn't that a matter of semantics? What is going on now is a revolution. Read more about what a revolution is.
You don't have to agree with his ideas, but to paint Sowore as anti-masses is untenable. I will never be part of it.
Sowore and Sahara Reporters are not infallible. But they have paid their dues. How many government adverts have you seen on Sahara Reporters? Ask around.

You keep saying he wants to hijack the protest, I don't know about that. Maybe you know what most people do not know. You can 'enlighten' us. As for his motives, all that I see is a man who is impatient with our rotten political establishment. I don't think that is a crime.
You say he is a politician, is that not ridiculous?
The same Sowore that political parties in Nigeria refused to give presidential ticket in 2019, which forced him to form the AAC? If we had "politicians" like Sowore in offices, nobody will be talking about ending SARS today.

A man that has confronted armed soldiers on the road for harassing innocent citizens shouldn't be insulted this way. Like I have said here repeatedly, you can disagree with Sowore, but do not insult his legacies. You're saying, if you want to fight for us, don't contest election.
I support fully the protests. But the problems of policing will not end with our current agitation. We will still need allies after the protests. Sowore is standing trial because he dared a dictator. Till date, the Buhari regime hasn't presented evidence of crime against him.
They dubiously charged him for "money laundering".
We (his legal team) challenged the lies of the regime and they hurriedly abandoned their story phony accusations and amended the charge. They are no longer accusing him of laundering money. The regime lied on oath against him.

The Sowore that I know will not support injustice. I am saying this based on my experience with him. If this is still about the 2015 election, then it is a shame.
Before you chant "Sowore we don't need you", look at his antecedents. This should never be condoned. It is wrong.
