Sowore also claimed to be instrumental to the emergence of Obi as Labour Party presidential candidate adding that he provided the document used to get the latter a spot in the party.

The RevolutionNow convener also hinted that he saved Obi from being impeached by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, adding he used the Sahara Reports to expose all the plots against the former Anambra state governor.

He spoke during a space titled “MIC ON PODCAST” on Saturday, December 16, 2023, The Nigerian Tribune reported.

Sowore stated thus:

“I was the one who provided the document that was used by Femi Falana (SAN) to get Peter Obi a spot in the Labour Party.

“When he was governor, Obasanjo then wanted to remove him; I helped using Sahara Reports to expose all the plots against him."
