Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress’s (AAC) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, has stated that he will not accept President Bola Tinubu, even if he volunteers to be his bail surety.
According to reports, Sowore is presently in police custody after being charged with cyberstalking, negligent conduct, and intimidation.
The police invitation was based on a viral video in which Sowore confronted officers who had stopped his vehicle at a checkpoint in Lagos.
The judge adjourned deciding on his bail application until Thursday, January 30.
In a video interview with media, Sowore refused the bail conditions and swore not to participate in what he described as unlawful activity.
According to him, the terms were comical, silly, and ridiculous, and the police had no authority to give administrative bail.
“I cannot in good conscience continue to participate in illegality because I have made it very clear that the police have no right to grant administrative bail that asks for civil servants to own, first and foremost, N100 million houses, which is a crime; that’s a corruption to stand bail for me, who is an employer of labour.
“I’m a publisher of an internationally renowned news website. I have people who I hired in Nigeria and abroad. I’m not a civil servant. In fact, I’m an uncivil citizen who is against all kinds of corruption.
“I have spent my entire life fighting against corruption. So, to now ask me, to insult me that I should provide a level 17 director, who had not gotten employment when I was fighting for democracy in 1992.
“To now ask the person to come and stand surety for me is a biggest insult. Even if President Bola Tinubu had appeared as my surety, I would have rejected that very laughable, frivolous, ridiculous, and I dare say stupid bail condition,” Sowore said.
