Omokri Forgives Sowore, Calls on Nigerians to Help Meet Bail Condition
- Omokri calls on Nigerians to rally round in securing Sowore’s bail conditions.
Reno Omokri, a former media aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan has said he has forgiven the convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore.
Omoyele Sowore, and co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, are yet to perfect the bail granted them on by a Federal High Court in Abuja. The owner of SaharReporters, an online media alongside Bakare are facing allegations ranging from treason among others.
Omokri who has been a staunch critic of President Muhammadu Buhari and the Al, Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the likes of Femi Falana who is Sowore’s counsel, Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai amongst others to come to his rescue haven allegedly consorted with him.

In a series of tweets, he said that Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe risked his position to stand for IPoB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Read below.
Where are Femi Falana, @elrufai, Emir Sanusi, Rotimi Amaechi and other top business and political juggernauts that openly consorted with and patronised Sowore? How can they leave him in jail this long? This is sad!

Enyinnaya Abaribe put his Senatorial position at risk to stand surety for Nnamdi Kanu and in 3 days of being granted bail, Kanu was free. My question is this: Are there no Senators from Ondo who can do same for Sowore?

After the shabby support shown to Sowore in his time of need and the massive backing given to Nnamdi Kanu by his people in his hour of need, many are asking if it is not better to fight for your tribe than for Nigeria?

It‘s not just that Nnamdi Kanu is more influential than Omoyele Sowore. It is that even Tacha is more relevant than him. What sort of people are we? A man is in jail because of Nigeria and we cant rally and bail him?

I put aside everything Omoyele Sowore did to me. I forgive him today. I call on Nigerians to rally round him. I urge his wife to start a @gofundme and I promise to make a generous donation. Let us get him out of jail!

It is sad that #FreeSowore hashtaggers moved on. Once #BBNaija reached its crescendo, I stopped seeing #FreeSowore and started seeing Tacha trend. Nothing prepared me for the way Nigerians moved on from #FreeSowore!
