Omoyele Sowore wrote in a post on his Facebook that Obi was wrong to advise the federal government to tax the wealthy since they stand to gain from the higher electricity tariffs.
Sowore wrote on his page;
“These guys are just so dumb that they wake up and copy and paste slogans from other climes. This was how Peter Obi woke up one day and travelled to Egypt. He claimed he went to learn how to generate electricity. He visited a switchboard in one Egyptian power station and returned. Now, he is here asking to tax the rich as if the electricity tariff increase is not for the same rich”.
However, Dele Farotimi has now reacted to the statement that was made by Sowore. His reaction is coming after one of his followers labelled Sowore a sellout.
In the post that Farotimi shared on his page, he said Sowore is not a sellout. He said a paid agent does not suffer the kind of persecution he has endured in the hands of the state.
