Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has reacted to the court verdict which ended the treasonable felony charge against him.
The youngest presidential aspirant in the recent general election and his co-defendant, Olawale Bakare, better known as Mandate, were prosecuted by the immediate past regime for calling for a nationwide #RevolutionNow protest against former President Muhammadu Buhari.
After a lengthy legal case, the court recently ordered the Federal Government to discontinue the case.
While featuring as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Sowore said he didn’t allow the former administration to break him.
The former AAC presidential aspirant accused officials of the Department of State Services of being reckless in their conduct after forcibly ‘abducting’ him in court before the judge.
“They came to court in 2019, and DSS abducted me in front of a judge. If that is not punishment, then what is punishment?” he queried.
“But I did not break, I didn’t let them break me. That is the only good news I have for all of you. There is nothing that wasn’t expected. We knew that this was going to happen.”
