I’ll reverse public facilities named after Tinubu, others if elected — Sowore

Human rights activist and publisher, Omoyele Sowore

African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has vowed to reverse the naming of highways, public institutions and other national assets after President Bola Tinubu and other public officials if elected president in 2027.

Sowore made the declaration in a statement shared on his Facebook page on Friday while reacting to the Federal Government’s decision to rename the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway after Tinubu.

He wrote, “The naming of highways, national institutions, and public assets after officials of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu regime that impoverished Nigeria and those who enabled its decline will be reversed as a matter of urgency under a #Sowore2027 administration.”

His reaction followed the announcement by the Minister of Works, David Umahi, that the Federal Government had renamed the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway as the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway.
