According to Sowore, Peter Obi was never truly an opposition figure, but instead presented himself in a way designed to fool the public.

He added that Obi has deceived supporters to the extent that many refuse to acknowledge they were misled.

“Peter Obi was never an opposition, he came and packaged himself, lied to you and made all of you fool. Peter is fooling you, he has fooled you to the point that instead of you admitting that you were fooled, you think you are too old to be fooled and you can’t admit,” Sowore said.

The activist’s comments have already generated widespread discussion on social media, with some supporting Sowore’s view and others defending Obi’s political legacy.

Sowore, known for his outspoken criticism of political figures, did not provide further details on specific examples of the alleged deception.
