Dele Farotimi: Sowore Condemns Peter Obi’s Visit To Afe Babalola by Edygrin(m): 7:45am On Dec 10, 2024
Human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has condemned the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi over his visit to legal luminary, Aare Afe Babalola SAN.

This is coming hours after Peter Obi’s closed door meeting with Afe Babalola.

As part of the visit to Ekiti state, Obi also had some sessions with the detained activist, Dele Farotimi in prison on Monday evening.

Reacting to the visit on his X handle on Monday night, Sowore wrote “I condemn those who went to ‘beg’ Chief Afe Babalola today over unjust detention and persecution of DeleFarotimi. The delegation led by PeterObi did colossal injustice to the struggle to drain the swamp of judicial criminality in our country.

Obi’s action is like forcing Rosa Parks to return to the back of the bus of racial injustice during the civil rights era in the United States! The struggle continues!FreeDeleFarotimiNow.

DAILY POST reports that Obi’s visit was reportedly arranged by a prominent Yoruba leader to find an amicable resolution to the legal issue between Babalola and Farotimi.

Farotimi, who was arrested in Lagos on Tuesday, was arraigned before a magistrate court in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday on a 16-count charge of defamation of character against Afe Babalola.

On Friday, December 6, 2024, the Nigerian police filed fresh cybercrime charges against Farotimi at the Federal High Court in Ekiti.

The Federal High Court on Monday December 9 granted Farotimi N50 million bail.

As of the time of filing this report, his team is still working on perfecting his bail conditions.

This guy is talking trash. The odds are stacked against Dele, if dem no beg Baba Afe the man will just end up in jail. One might not like what is happening but Dele goofed the moment he put that in his book, that right there is enough evidence to send him to sanko.
They are even planning more serious charges of disrepute against the Supreme Court of Nigeria and use that to out him from the Nigerian Bar so begging Baba is the right thing to do for now except Dele has hard evidence to prove his allegations to the very end.
NB: Sentiments and Law are two different things,personally i believe everything Dele said is true but it has to be proven with evidence so these people foaming in the mouth and calling me names are the same online zombies who will cheer you on till you fvck up then when hand touch you,you will suffer alone while they jump to another topic.

Sowore wants Dele to spend decades in prison like Mandela. The Judiciary that will give the judgement has already been abused and cursed by Dele. Even Dele’s parents and children will weep for him, only his wife will not, because she will jump on the next available dicck to moan and reach organsm

Couldn't have said it any better. Obi doesn't have principles. Why go and beg an oppressor to free the oppressed? Farotimi is ready to fight, other human rights activitists are ready to fight but obi went to beg.

Obi is simply a leader. He tried to mediate peace between the two brothers as a leader. Both Dele and Afe are brothers.

Dele Farotimi was intentionally defaming people in order to grab headlines and turn himself into a folk hero of IPOB Obidients.

Na wah o! Every corrupt element looking and seeking for ways by all means to label Obi a bad man so that they will feel good with themselves that he is like them.

Farotimi is one of his fervent supporter, so he should let him rot in detention over what does not warrant such?

If Farotimi were to be a younger man bubbling in activism it's a different thing,but at his age this confinement will be physically and emotionally distressing. Baba should forgive him

This is why Sowore will never amount to anything in the Nigerian political atmosphere. He still thinks he's doing Students Union activism.

A two-faced idiot who fixes dates for protests in the hopes that the necessary bodies will call him aside for negotiations and settlement.

Political opportunist!

I am with Sowore on this. Obi is just a useless person. I have written about it earlier. Obi is so useless. I repeat...Peter Obi is a useless somebody.

A man who is meant to be insulted will face real disgrace while chasing clout for political gain. Lol. When did Dele beg him to visit Afe Babalola? Is Dele, who has held a press conference and stated that he is willing to meet with Afe Babalola in court, the one Obi went to plead with? A man with a functioning brain would not act in such a useless manner.

What does he hope to achieve? Force Dele, who we know is like Fela Kuti in his struggle and willing to die in prison? Or ask Afe Babalola, who clearly wants to clear his name, to drop the case because Dele will keep hammering him...and another book will undoubtedly be published. Does Obi truly understand the gravity of the situation? Dele did not simply say it; he wrote it in a book. And he said he stands by it. So, how can someone who has stated that he is capable of becoming Nigeria's president fail to recognize the gravity of the situation and do the right thing?

Chai. This useless Obi cannot rule Nigeria. Never. Maybe he can go back to the east and rule over his zombies again.

I repeat without any apology. Peter Obi is a useless person.

Farotimi needs the interventions of people like Obi for a softlanding, otherwise, his jail terms will be longer than river Nile.

I don't understand how supposed schooled people prefer emotions and sentiments over civility. From whatever dimension you might look at it, the odds are against Farotimi and Chief Afe's terms were simple, "prove or recant". Seems some people didn't read the said defamation in the book. Those were too heavy without proof. You can't just wake one day and say grave things about someone without you giving evidences. It's even more annoying that it's coming from a lawyer. He didn't stop at that, he dragged the Supreme court into it. If Chief Afe let it slide, I'm sure the NJC won't, they're just watching.

if Peter obi goes they will complain and if he doesn't go they will still complain. undecided

Strictlygreen:
True. A smart politician would go in proxy. Obi is proving to us that he's just a trader who suddenly found himself in an uncharted waters.

Proxy or no proxy they will still complain. Did tinubu use proxy when he went to beg obasanjo?

Why do you think no one should have an opinion other than the one you favor? Are you allergic to opposition??
