I got to know Omoyele Sowore through my good friend Mr Peter Claver. Both of them graduated from the University of Lagos. We have been friends for years and we have reasoned together and interacted for years
However I was stunned into disbelief and in total shock when he called a sitting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria a criminal. I advised him to withdraw the shameful scurrilous drivels and apologize to the President. Up till now he has not found the need to apologize to the President and Nigerians who elected him as president.
PBAT is not his mate. The President is an international chartered accountant, international scholar in the best tradition, former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Former Governor of Nigeria’s economic nerve center called Lagos State for eight years, and now the President of Nigeria, the biggest, the most populated country in Africa and the most endowed. Nobody body living or dead in Nigeria has touched lives across Nigeria the way PBAT has done in the past 30 years.

Apart from being the President of UNILAG Student Union, I cannot recall any significant progress made by Sowore since he left Akoka apart from Aluta Continua business and life on the streets. These activities are getting diminished everyday and does not make sense to people like us again.
When you call a President we all elected a criminal it is at once telling us that more 200 million Nigerians are criminals. This is unacceptable. It is unbelievable .It is a joke taken to a frightening dimension. It is kindergarten and at best horrible. I have asked you as a friend to retract this nonsensical effusions and openly apologize to the President and Nigeria. This is our irredeemable minimum demand. Let the world know I have advised Sowore as a friend.
