The human rights activist noted that Tinubu’s government replicating their ideas resulted from people not paying attention to candidates who had ideas and glorifying the ruling class, which has no tenets of governance.

Two-time presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) Omoyele Sowore has revealed that the Student Loan initiative and Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project initiated by President Bola Tinubu’s istration were his ideas.

He stated that some of his ideas were being pilfered by the political class, which left people with no ideas in power and people with ideas relegated to the sidelines.

“This student loan that they’re doing, we didn’t promise student loans, we promised grants. N100,000 was what we proposed per semester to Nigerian students, and people said it was impossible.

“When they (Tinubu’s government) took the idea, someone turned it into a loan.”

Sowore also recounted that he proposed the ongoing Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project in 2018 during his campaign for the presidential seat in 2019.

He said, “This idea of a coastal highway was something I proposed in Badagry in 2018 when I went there to campaign that there would be a coastal highway from the border of Benin Republic to Calabar, and this would jumpstart the Nigerian Economy.

“And when they (Tinubu’s government) took it, they cut off the Badagry side and they made it a 47km highway that would help the provide a highway for a private real estate development in Eko Atlantic and that would the Dangote Refinery to it.”

The human rights activist further noted that Tinubu’s government replicating their ideas resulted from people not paying attention to candidates who had ideas and glorifying the ruling class, which has no tenets of governance.

When asked about the possibility of collaborating with Tinubu’s istration to help salvage the nation from its economic ruins, Sowore was clear in his response, stating, “No, because we have nothing in common. I know in advance that they don’t have the bandwidth to accommodate our ideas.”

now i know to never this idiotic human being

Exactly... I have always known the guy had nothing

Anyone who thinks building infrastructure right now is a good thing is a fool

Its funny how people attacked my for my statement above... Nigeria has a long way to go

Nigeria debt to GDP is right now over 50%
Nigeria revenue to GDP is about 7%
Nigeria revenue to debt servicing+recurrent expenditure is 300% minimum

And a normal human would think building infrastructure right now is what we need ?

Buhari built infrastructure what was the results ? Increased recurrent expenditure without any net increase in revenue

Who really swear for Nigeria

Which university did you graduate from?

Muson and Mosan na same by pronunciation

Sowore make you rest abeg

Ur own don too much

Well, some people do not know the importance of that Highway and are busy disturbing us with their bias but still on still let's see how it goes.

Studentloan/Student grant too.

We must however not forget that as a Nation, we have a Lot of Fantastic/Excellent Policy on Paper but implementation has always been marred by Our Greed and Wicked mindset.

Let's just hope for the Best and that the Nation came be ignited towards Greatness.

#I wish Everyone whatever they Wish Nigeria.

This werey that calls himself Sowerey is a real nuisance.
I can't believe he wanted to be president and actually contested for the position.
Mad men everywhere in Nigeria.

Your head no just correct, no wonder we have more idiotic leaders and citizens like you fooling around.

See what someone wants to prioritize in this economy. All of una dey mad

What do you know about governance?
No wonder them ask you, which University you attend..

Sowore is synonymous with cho-cho-cho

V

Sowore will say or do anything to stay relevant. The idea of a coastal highway started even before Obasanjo became president in 1999.

Tinubu is now implementing it and some people are criticizing it because those trillions could be spent on high-return ventures and industries.

Sowore seeking cheap attention like Pandora pathological liar Obi, the IPOB terrorist YES DADDY religious fanatical sore loser.

Sowore like to talk. He should just merger with PDP

Oh well

Tinubu is the worst president in the planet Earth. All he's thinking about is Money and the next election, he doesn't care if people are dying of hunger and hardship as a result of his stupid policies and selfish interest.

Lol. Sowore needs a break.

You love your suffering

If all these bigots cum Obidients are truly serious about taking back Nigeria, they would be queuing behind Sowore and no one else.

Oloriburuku Oloshi somebody. They are your ideas, yet you and your gand of idiots including Bitter Hero Beer Obituary have picked up arms against the projects.

What about Tinubu's Wife? Isn't she your idea also?

Mr. Ignorance, if you were informed, you would know the idea didn't just start today or in 2018. There is almost no new thing that anybody wants to bring to the table in Nigeria, all plans and ideas are all in place - What we lack is management, implementation and prioritization.

Nigeria has a robust master plan that cut across all the federation, but we lack the willpower to implement or execute them. The idea of student loan was not a new thing neither, i has always been on the table, but no willpower to implement.

Opposition is soo sweet and PAINFUL!

😆


When the ruling party does something that makes sense and you don't know how to criticize it.
Just say "ITS NOT A PRIORITY" or "CONDEMN THE COST"!...this is OBIDIENTS and PETHIEF OBI style


Back to SOWORE....Irrespective of whose Idea is we just want it done.However thanks for your sincerity. If pethief OBI can reveal how floating of naira and Subsidy removal are actually his ideas too.

This one no well. Building infrastructure is not a good thing, should the money be shared to Nigeria's lazy youths so that you can use it for alcohol, drugs, and sex?

You need a truthful self assessment.

Loan abi more oppression to the poor?

No one cares about who owns the idea as long as Nigerians benefit from it that's okay with us.

I like sowore, he is very relentless, that is why most boutique owners in Abuja Dey vex for me cos say I Slash down the cost of all my products with free delivery, can you imagine ? See my thread/topic for details.

An beginning to loose taste in this Sowere
of a person.

SUG president dragging a coastal highway to fraud!

You no go dissociate yourself from this thing? No go end your career by forming familiarity with tinubu. Anything that man put hand for this harsh economy no matter how good will be hated. Don't go and give your enemies weapons to use to fashion against you in the front
