The Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, in the 2023 general elections, Omoyele Sowore, says he will not accept President Bola Tinubu even if he volunteered to be his bail surety.

DAILY POST reports that Sowore is currently in police custody after he was arraigned over allegations of cyberstalking, negligent acts, and intimidation.

The police invitation was about a viral video wherein Sowore confronted officers who had stopped his vehicle at a checkpoint in Lagos.

The court adjourned ruling on his bail application to Thursday, January 30.

speaking with journalists in a video, Sowore rejected the bail conditions and vowed not to participate in what he called illegality.

According to him, the conditions were laughable, frivolous, and ridiculous, adding that the police have no right to grant administrative bail.

“I cannot in good conscience continue to participate in illegality because I have made it very clear that the police have no right to grant administrative bail that asks for civil servants to own, first and foremost, N100 million houses, which is a crime; that’s a corruption to stand bail for me, who is an employer of labour.

“I’m a publisher of an internationally renowned news website. I have people who I hired in Nigeria and abroad. I’m not a civil servant. In fact, I’m an uncivil citizen who is against all kinds of corruption.

“I have spent my entire life fighting against corruption. So, to now ask me, to insult me that I should provide a level 17 director, who had not gotten employment when I was fighting for democracy in 1992.

“To now ask the person to come and stand surety for me is a biggest insult. Even if President Bola Tinubu had appeared as my surety, I would have rejected that very laughable, frivolous, ridiculous, and I dare say stupid bail condition,” Sowore said.
