'The day of Nigeria's most dangerous man Tinubu becomes president, it's the end' - to the late Odumakin's words remember
Sowore made this shocking unveiling on the fourth anniversary of Odumakin’s death in Lagos on Wednesday. Human rights activist Omooyele Sowore revealed that the late Yinka Odumakin, a former Afenifers spokesman, once warned that Nigeria would be doomed as Bola Ahmed Tinubu president. Sowore made this shocking unveiling on the fourth anniversary of Odumakin’s death in Lagos on Wednesday. “Yinka called me and said …” Waiting for the future, the guys you met are the most dangerous people Nigerians will ever have to confront, “Sowore said. Odumakin refers to Muhammad Sanusi II, who was recently dismissed by the Abdullahi Ganduje-led government as the Emir of Canoe, and prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who met Sowore in Lagos. Osinbajo later became vice president after the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential election. Sowore explained that Odumakin, a relentless critic of political corruption, singled out Tinubu as the most dangerous politician Nigeria would ever have to deal with. “He added a different name, and it’s very important to everyone. Anyone who knows Yinka, Yinka will tell you that the day of Tinubu becomes Nigerian president, that’s the end,” Sovore quoted him. According to Sowore, Odumakin regularly spoke privately and publicly about Tinubu’s potentially dangerous political ambitions, and warned that Nigeria would be in deep trouble if he could adopt. He said: “He said of all the dangerous people who have Nigerians, Tinubu is the most dangerous. That’s what Yinka told everyone. If you had a private conversation with Yinka, Yinka would tell you, ‘You haven’t seen anything until Tinubu became president; With the hope that Tinubu would never become president. ‘Sowore moures that Odumakin’s worst fear has now become a reality. “Tinubu has become president and Yinka is in a better place. Because I do not know how he would have survived under the Tinubu’s regime. The truth there happened; that Tinubu is the most dangerous person,” Sovore said. He went further to explain why Odumakin believes that Tinubu poses such a serious threat to Nigeria. “The reason he (Yinka) said this: Of all the politicians in Nigeria, the one who acknowledged and worked with every evil president in Nigeria, Tinubu. He worked with the army, he worked with drug dealers. He worked with people who killed people,” he said. Sowore accused Tinubu of coming to power through a system of impunity and corruption, saying that Odumakin has long warned about this. “And he himself rose through the rank of impunity. So Yinka’s predictions happened his prophecies,” Sowore said. Odumakin, until he died in 2021, was a vocal advocate of democracy, transparency and accountability, and often clashed with those in power. His widow, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, continued to maintain his legacy of activism.
