“Yele Sowore is a fraud. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Interviewed him twice as a journalist for CNN. The man has a hero complex and it’s funny because he has no practical solutions for anything.
He does not and will never speak for me or mine.”

“I told you guys this Sowore thing, when Bush comes to shove all they care about is themselves.
If they are not benefiting from it, they don’t care.”

“The youth agenda is #EndSarsNow. Other youth agenda is #RevolutionNow. I don’t see any difference between #EndSARS & #RevolutionNow. We are all in the same boat. Ending SARS alone can’t solve all the problems in this nation. So focus and leave Sowore alone.”

“Nobody’s voice has been louder and more consistent that Omoyele Sowore in all of Nigeria for quite some time now…
The least we could all do is respect his passion… Enough with the slander…. It’s divisive…
THE BERETS ARE OUR COMRADE”

“The
@MBuhari
regime is fully out with a social media war to divide & distract #EndSARS protesters. Don’t fall for it! First, it was a statement from an individual credited to NANS and now it is an attack on Sowore. Be focus as the hashtags remains #EndSarsNow #EndPoliceBrutality”
