Kanu Protest: Sowore A Foreign Hired Destabilization Agent - AVA

*Demand  security agencies action against him 

Ahead of the planned protest demanding the federal government frees Nnamdi Kanu standing trial for alleged terrorism charges billed for Monday, a group, the Arewa Voters Assembly (AVA), has described the convener of the protest, Omoyele Sowore as a destabilization agent,  hired  by foreigners to Destabilize Nigeria.

The group expressed this in a statement dated Saturday October 18, 2025,  signed by  Comrade Ismail Ibrahim Bakori, its convener.

"Sowore is a hired destabilization agent in the service of foreign forces and interests that have been scheming over the years to disintegrate Nigeria by igniting the fire of ethnic, regional and religious conflagration and inclinations. 

"They have found an ally in Sowore, who does not have the fear of God in him and is never patriotic to the cause and aspirations of the Nigerian state, and who will do anything to bring the country to its knees in order to satisfy his selfish, delusional behavior and character traits of a failed childhood not brought up from a good parentage and family life," the statement said.

They said that since the inception of the Fourth Republic in 1999, it has long become obvious to them in the Arewa Voters Assembly, and to discerning Nigerians and certainly to every patriotic observer, that several shadowy forces have been at work in efforts to scuttle the trajectory of Nigeria's hard-won democracy, to which Sowore has lent his life and service as a traitor and fifth columnist of the first order and an enemy of the state.

   

"Besides the misguided religious perverts, the ethnic and regional irredentists as well as the armed bandits who have been rampaging and causing mayhem across the nation, certain individuals have also been among the unconscionable elements working for external powers and sponsors with the objective of destabilising Nigeria. It is crystal clear that the boisterous and cantankerous Omoyele Sowore is one of such traitors to the country's course in achieving our collective aspirations that we can all be proud of.

"By his actions and utterances ever since he forayed into the publishing of his online platform and the political arena, Sowore has been consistently provocative, vulgar, uncouth and lawless. He has a habit of instigating violence, chaos, anarchy and conflicts between communities, parties, individuals and regions by always whipping up divisive sentiments along the nation's fault lines.

  

" His latest antics, woven around the trial and detention of Nnamdi Kanu, vividly illustrate the character of Sowore as an opportunistic interloper and renegade spent force who goes on scavenging expeditions for the slightest chance and opportunity, however senseless, of plying his vocation of a rabble-rouser and an enemy of the Nigerian nationhood," they alleged.

AVA said  that Sowore's recent penchant for hauling disparaging verbal attacks, dissolute, crude and odious invectives at the administration and person of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is a deliberate strategy aimed at arousing the disaffection of the citizens towards their democratically elected political leadership and to cast aspersions on the hard-fought democracy that is thriving in leaps and bounds, "to the detriment of the undertaker's principals and sponsors, who are daily licking their wounds because Nigeria is indeed moving towards the right direction under the present dispensation."

On the basis of the foregoing, the AVA is  demanding,  "We have had enough of the narcissistic and egocentric vituperations of Omoyele Sowore, who is nothing but a fake, misguided and crooked personality on a rascally mission of narrow self-aggrandizement and selfish delusional ambition.

"We are calling on the youth of the country, particularly those of the South East, to be wary of the antics and deceptions of Sowore and his cohorts. They should take a closer and critical look at the self-styled "Comrade" who claims to be a 'revolutionary' and is purportedly fighting for the masses, and look beyond his charade that he is indeed a sheep in a wolf's garb; a stooge used by the enemies of democracy to thwart the gains so far garnered since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took the mantle of leadership and is steering the ship of State to change the trajectory of Africa's most populous black nation to prominence in global reckoning.

   

"It should be noted that while he is calling out our youngsters to come out to the streets on protests, thereby exposing them to the risks of arrest, detentions or worse, his own children are attending Dwight Englewood, one of the most exclusive schools in the USA, and his wife and other family members are enjoying exclusive, cozy lifestyles of opulence and security in New Jersey, USA, which is not commensurate with his lifestyle and earnings in the country. This leaves a sour taste in the mouth that he is really a wolf, a con man and a blackmailer. What a cold-blooded, mindless, malicious, barefaced liar; an unscrupulous, manipulating hypocrite!

"We are calling on the nation's security agencies—the police, the DSS, NIA and others—to, as a matter of urgent national security exigency, go for the scum and threat to the nation in the person of Omoyele Sowore. He should be particularly questioned on his recent claims that "the results of the 2027 elections have already been written."
