African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, says President Muhammadu Buhari regime is harassing Labour Party’s Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed with treason allegations because the regime has no capacity to “fight revolutionary struggle.” 

Mr Sowore, in a tweet on Tuesday, said Mr Obi and his party are not different from ruling All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party while berating the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, for accusing LP presidential candidate of treason. 

“Shameless Lai Mohammed and @NGRPresident claims that protected speech and lawful protests against fraudulent election amounts to “Treason” is a hoax and fallacy carried too far,” Mr Sowore wrote. 

“They’re harassing @Peterobi and his Vice Presidential candidate, DATTI Ahmed with these tactics because they know they are wimps with zero ability to fight a revolutionary struggle and because they’ve all been partners in crime since 1999.” 

Mr Sowore’ statement comes as the Buhari regime accused Mr Obi of treason for rejecting the February 25th presidential election. 

“Obi and his vice, Datti Ahmed, cannot be threatening Nigerians that if the president-elect, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is sworn in on May 29, it will be the end of democracy in Nigeria.

“This is treason. You cannot be inviting insurrection, and this is what they are doing,” Mr Mohammed said in Washington DC, during his official engagements with some international media organisations.

Mr Obi, however, in a series of tweets on Tuesday,  dismissed Mr Mohammed’s allegation, saying it is “malicious” and “fictitious.”
