Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters has said that President Bola Tinubu understands the United States of America and its President, Donald Trump more than a lot of individuals ever imagined.
Speaking on Wednesday, on US’ involvement in fighting terrorism, insecurity and alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria, Sowore said, only Nigerians have what is needed to save themselves and the country from an implosion.
His words, “So, Tinubu understands the US very well. He lived there, he was there as I’ve always said, as a criminal because he was selling drugs.
“Yes, and so he understands them very well. He knows what they want. That’s why he never spoke publicly when they were harassing him,” Sowore stated.
Also explaining why President Tinubu has remained quiet despite the agitations and declarations made by Donald Trump over the killings in Nigeria, Sowore alleged that the US have some dossiers on Nigeria’s number one citizen.
“And I’m sure they have a whole lot of dossiers on him that have kept him very grounded in the way that he knows what will please them. But nothing is new. This is what I am trying to explain: this is how the US operates.
“And for those of you who don’t understand, one day you will understand because I know some of you are new to these things and you are always very agitated when Sowore tells the truth about the US,” he said.
The activist further called on Nigerians to begin to look inwards to seek solutions that would liberate the country rather than expecting salvation from external bodies or the international community.
“The US cannot save you except you save yourself. The US has never saved anybody except the US. Even now, the United States is unable to save its citizens. They are killing people on their own streets for immigration offences. They are killing their citizens.
“It’s fascism, and is the reason why some of us stand up and say, even when he is unpopular… Yeah, as you all are aware, I think Donald Trump has more supporters in Nigeria than he has in the U.S. at this point. So, we know who his supporters are. Same people I have demonstrated fascism,” Sowore added.
