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.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
