Sowore Claims Nigerians Trust Politicians with Big Tummies More Than Flat Ones
Omoyele Sowore, the 2023 presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), has made an unusual claim about the way Nigerians view their politicians.
Sowore argued that the public’s trust in politicians has now become linked to their physical appearance, particularly the size of their stomachs.
According to Sowore, Nigerians no longer trust politicians with flat stomachs, citing the poor performance of former president Muhammadu Buhari as the reason.
He explained that Buhari’s flat tummy became a symbol of his leadership style, which many viewed as ineffective. Sowore even mentioned that this shift in perception influenced his own decision to adopt a more protruding belly.
In an interview on the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ show, hosted by content creator Bae U Barbie, Sowore explained, “I used to have a flat tummy up until 2018. But I realized that people with flat tummies are no longer trusted.
The way Buhari used his flat tummy to deceive Nigerians made me decide to start growing my tummy. It’s getting there.”
“It looks like Nigerians aren’t going to vote for anyone with a flat tummy anytime soon,” he added.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
