Trial won’t stop me from becoming next President of Nigeria – Sowore

Trial won’t stop me from becoming next President of Nigeria – Sowore

Former presidential candidate of the African Action
Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has said that his current ordeal won’t stop him
from becoming the next President of Nigeria.

 

Sowore had earlier on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to the
cybercrime charges filed against him by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode
Egbetokun.

 

Sowore is standing trial before
Justice Mohammed Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja for calling Egbetokun
an ‘illegal IGP’ on his verified X handle.

 

However, the human rights activist pleaded not guilty to the
charge.

 

Speaking to journalists shortly before the court session on
Wednesday, Sowore said whether he’s granted bail or not, it will not stop him
from becoming the next President of Nigeria.

 

He said: “I volunteered to go to the police after they sent
me electronic invitation and they told me to fulfill some bail conditions,
which I rejected, opting to stay detained on the charges properly.

 

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t get bail. Whatever it is,
whatever will be, will be. But even if I don’t get the bail from here, it will
not stop me from becoming the next President of Nigeria. I’m not in any way
declaring for President.”
