Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has reaffirmed his commitment to fighting for Nigeria’s freedom from corrupt leaders.
Speaking to his supporters after the Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail on Thursday, Sowore expressed gratitude for their unwavering support.
Despite the police’s interest in seizing his passport, he remained defiant, insisting that no attempt to silence or make him disappear would succeed.
His bail was granted by Justice Musa Suleiman Liman, who set the amount at ₦10 million, with one surety of the same sum. The court also ordered Sowore to deposit his passport and submit an affidavit of means.
Condemning his prosecution by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, as an abuse of power, Sowore assured his supporters that he would not back down.
With his signature resolve, he declared, “We are very resolute in our desire to make sure that this country is extricated from the hands of mediocres who are holding it to ransom.”
He maintained that the struggle is not about the coming election, saying, “We are very committed to ensure that the welfare of the people of this is paramount us and we are doing it because elections are coming.
“We are not emergency activists; the ones that started yesterday – El-Rufai, Amaechi and the rest of them. We do this as a matter of conviction and it is our body clock that reminds us about injustice not election calendars.
“So we know that the police is interested with my passport when the judge asked me to deposit my passport. I have only one passport – the green Nigerian passport. You can take away the passport but you can’t take away my right, you can’t shut me up, you cannot make me disappear; it is not possible.
“And I want to assure you that as we continue to defeat our enemies, these people will be defeated as well.
“I am sure that some of you were here when Buhari charged me in 2019 with treason and I told you that Buhari will be disgraced out of office though he completed his tenure but he is a shadow of himself, now dancing with musicians and spraying money in wherever he is.
“He is now giving testimonies around the world so that he can earn estacode and then collect. So the same thing will be fall anybody that has destroyed this country.
“They will never enjoy their retirements and the same thing applies to all these guys.”
