SOCIAL activist and publisher of Saharareporters, Omoyele Sowore has countered Bayo Onanuga over his post calling out supporters of Peter Obi as the brains behind the protest the presidential aide alleged is planned to topple the Bola Tinubu administration.
GWG.ng reports that the response of Omoyele Sowore is coming as several other Nigerians also claimed that the protest was not politically motivated but hunger-induced.
Onanuga had in a post on Saturday accused supporters of Obi of seeking to get through the protest what they failed to get through the ballot box.
The presidential aide had as such called on security agents to intervene and arrest them. Peter Obi had in response denied any role in the planned protest. Some leading supporters of Obi including Patrick Utomi who Onanuga called out have also denied, though a number of active Obidients have been posting on the protest.
However, responding to Onanuga, Omoyele Sowore who was not called out but has reportedly been pushing for protest said:
