Sowore Hits Back At ‘Illegal’ IGP Egbetokun Over Threats, Calls Tenure Extension 2027 Election Rigging Plot

Omoyele Sowore, human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has strongly criticized the continued tenure of Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, calling it an unconstitutional extension designed to manipulate the 2027 elections.

During an event on Wednesday, Egbetokun labeled his critics as “enemies of Nigeria,” warning that their “cups will soon be full.”

Egbetokun said, “Do not be distracted by the false narratives being peddled by enemies of Nigeria. Some of whom hide under the cloak of act of activism to distort our work and demoralise our officers.

In a social media post on Wednesday, he wrote: “It appears that Kayode Egbetokun, the Illegal General of Nigeria Police Force has yet to grasp that the collective power of the people outweighs that of the people in power, amid his placement in an unlawful tenure extension aimed at 2027 election rigging plot that is obvious to Nigerians, he seems emboldened by the impunity that is bound to consume him.”
