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.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
