Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Omoyele Sowore, former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, has said Bashir Ahmad, an ex-aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, represents a tendency that assume Nigeria is their private real estate.<\/p>\n

The Activist said Ahmad was speaking the minds of his benefactors.<\/p>\n

Sowore\u2019s statement came after Ahmad cautioned those advocating for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.<\/p>\n

Recall that the ex-aide to Buhari had described those advocating for Kanu\u2019s release as enemies of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

However, in a post on his X handle on Monday, Sowore said Kanu is being held hostage by feudal characters, adding that he stands no chance of getting \u201cjustice\u201d in a court of law.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThis fellow @BashirAhmaad is speaking the mind of his benefactors; when @Mbuhari was in power @MaziNnamdikanu was one of the reasons he would get openly aggressive and upset.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruth is that @BashirAhmaad just didn\u2019t wake up to make this egregious statement he represents a tendency in Nigeria and they assume Nigeria is their private real estate, and only they determine what could happen inside it. It is the reason why I have consistently stated that @MaziNnamdiKanu is being held hostage by these feudal characters, he stands no chance of getting \u201cjustice\u201d in a court of law, and court cases are just a charade meant to create an impression that he\u2019s in indefinite detention as a result of these bogeys they label as charges. #FreeNnamdiKanuNOW\u201d<\/p>\n
