Omoyele Sowore entered Lagos state to attend the memorial lecture held in honor of the late human rights lawyer and activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, in Lagos. During Omoyele Sowore’s speech, he revealed some of the things he did alongside Femi Falana (SAN) to save Peter Obi‘s candidacy in the Labour Party.
As reported by Punch news, Omoyele Sowore said, at the time when Peter Obi was trying to get the presidential ticket of the Labour Party, the party got confused as there are pressure from different people that Peter Obi should not be made the Presidential flagbearer of Labour Party.

Omoyele Sowore tentatively said, this is not the first time he is helping Peter Obi’s ambition, he also explained his intervention during the time that Peter Obi was ruling Anambra state. Sowore said, there are moves to impeach him (Peter Obi) but Femi Falana intervened then too.
