After a report criticized Peter Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of being a bad example to Nigerians for not wearing a life jacket during a canoe ride, a video has emerged online showing Omoyele Sowore, 2023 presidential candidate for the AAC, standing on a flying boat without a life jacket.
Sowore’s hypocritical attitude was revealed when his media organization, Sahara Reporters, published a report titled ‘Junior Pope’s Death: Nigerian Tweeps Tackle Peter Obi For Not Wearing Lifejacket During Canoe Ride, Say He’s A Bad Example.’
The report accused Peter Obi of setting a bad example by publishing pictures of him without a life jacket during a canoe ride, but failed to mention a similar incident involving Sowore, who was caught on video standing on a flying boat without a life jacket.”
Obi came under attack after offering his condolences to the family of the late Nollywood actor, Pope Obumneme Odonwodo, popularly known as Junior Pope and four others in a boat accident on Wednesday.
Recall that Parallel Facts reported that Junior Pope, who drowned while attempting to cross the River Niger during the making of a movie, had finally been confirmed dead.
Commenting on the video, some netizens lambasted Sowore for his hypocrisy. An X user, Ejikeme stated, “Omoyele Sowore is a bad example to Nigerian Youths. How can a presidential candidate stand on a flying boat without Life-Jacket.’
Another, Ifeoma Morah stated, “You’d think twice before you talk ill of Obi.”
Another, godfreyanyanwu stated, “Leave am, na only Peter Obi mistake dem go see.”
Another user, Praise articulated, “Your man is a bad example. Tag Sahara fake repoeters to come and tell us about their man.”
Tweeter user, Odi uko na mba, stated, “Just look at Sowerey. He is really the werey his parents named him 🤦♀️.”
