Sahara Reporters reports that Omoyele Sowore, a human rights advocate and the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate in 2019 and 2023, has blamed his son, wife, and political colleagues for the passing of Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. Following a protracted fight with prostate cancer, the governor of Nigeria, Akeredolu, died at the age of 67, according to the first report of his death published by SaharaReporters on Wednesday.

During an interview with News Central Television on Thursday, Sowore claimed that doctors in Germany had given Akeredolu until May 2023 to live, but the late governor surpassed this prognosis. Sowore expressed the belief that Akeredolu might have lived longer if his wife, Betty, son, and political associates had not brought him back to Nigeria. According to Sowore, Akeredolu’s return was orchestrated to leverage his presence in an attempt to impeach his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who was sworn in as governor following Akeredolu’s demise.
Emphasizing that Akeredolu had become incapacitated before his death, Sowore led a protest calling for the governor’s resignation or a return to his official duties to demonstrate his fitness, as claimed by his family and political associates. Sowore insisted that the late governor’s return to Nigeria had political motives and criticized the use of his presence for political maneuvers.
In his words: “What happened in Akeredolu’s case, if it were to be in a serious country, there would be an investigation due to allegations of forgery. If this happens in the US, you will see family members facing attempted murder charges.
“You can’t do this to someone and not answer for your crime just because you feel you can milk his vulnerable condition, and nobody is talking about it, rather, everyone is saying ‘rest in peace’.” CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
