Sowore was reacting to the stampede incidents that killed over 100 Nigerians in Ibadan, Okija, and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
On Saturday, Omoyele Sowore, the Nigerian activist politician, accused President Bola Tinubu of bringing destruction on Nigerians since assuming power in 2023.
Sowore was reacting to the stampede incidents that killed over 100 Nigerians in Ibadan, Okija, and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Not less than 20 residents of Okija community in Anambra State reportedly lost their lives in a stampede on Saturday.
The stampede occurred during an event for the distribution of rice.
Recall also that an unspecified number of persons died following a stampede at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Maitama area of Abuja, also on Saturday.
Reacting to the incident, Sowore warned that Nigeria is in trouble and endangered under Tinubu.
Posting on X, Sowore wrote: “Not less than 100 Nigerians have perished in less than a week in Ibadan (Oyo), Okija (Anambra), and Abuja (FCT) just in search of rice.
“This speaks precisely to the debilitating economic destruction wrought on Nigerians by the @officialABAT regime since his unfortunate ascension to power in May 2023.
“If anyone didn’t know how bad things are and how our people are really desperate for survival, this unprecedented but unwarranted death by hunger-suicide tells the real story. Nigeria is in trouble and Nigerians are endangered! #RevolutionNow.”
