Omoyele Sowore reacting on Twitter said he observed the petition trending on the platform.

A presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has condemned a petition against Reno Omokri currently trending on Twitter.

The petition had alleged that Omokri, a former presidential aide incited disunity among Nigerians.

Reacting, Sowore wrote:

There is a petition circulating on @Change against Nigerian social @media personality @renoomokri, this petition asking @twitter to ban Mr. Omokri are largely signed by @PeterObi supporters. I condemn this digital resort to mob justice by those behind this particular petition.

It is matter of time before this gets physical and Mr. Omokri gets hurt. This was how Ivory Coast descended into crisis during Mr. Laurent Gbagbo’s re-election in 2010. The rest is now history. I denounce the petition for targeting Reno over exercise of free speech.

I urge those behind the petition to take it sown as it posses direct threat to @RenoOmokri’a life, that of his family and his freedom of speech! #WeCantContinueLikeThis

However, Nigerians have countered Sowore saying that he also in the past started a petition against Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Twitter users accused him of hypocrisy.

The Fraud apologists on David Hundeyin space telling him to minimize his investigation so as to not amplify Nigeria’s existing fraudulent reputation are not different from people supporting BAT because “Yoruba lokan”.
