The South West Youth Alliance has dismissed as false and malicious the recent claims by African Action Congress (AAC) Presidential candidate, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, alleging that the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, sought private meetings with him.
In a statement signed by its Director of Publicity, Adenike Ajanlekoko, the group described Sowore’s assertions as “baseless fabrications aimed at misleading the public and dragging the office of the IGP into needless controversy.”
The Alliance stressed that IGP Egbetokun never sought, requested, or pursued any private engagement with Sowore, adding that the Nigeria Police Force remains focused on pressing national security matters rather than indulging in political distractions.
“There is absolutely no cause for IGP Egbetokun to meet with a crook and serial blackmailer like Omoyele Sowore, whose notoriety is tied to forgery, misrepresentation, and the reckless theft and publication of official Nigeria Police signals,” the statement read.
The group further cautioned Sowore against attempting to blackmail credible public officers in his pursuit of political relevance, noting that “resorting to lies, forgeries, and falsehood against respected leaders will never earn him credibility among Nigerians.”
On governance, the Alliance emphasized that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is running a democratic government and not a “regime” as often mischaracterized by Sowore.
It reassured Nigerians that the administration remains firm, focused, and committed to delivering on its promises without compromising its integrity throughout its tenure.
