Speaking in a Mic On interview, a podcast by Seun Okinbaloye, the journalist maintained that the present Tinubu administration did not have the capacity to accommodate his ideas.
He said:
"We have nothing in common. I know in advance that they don't have the bandwidth to accommodate our ideas. They are very limited in their ability to see what we have seen and how we see the greatness of Nigeria.
"In joining them, you're only fulfilling the time-tested lie that if you can't beat them, you join them. We don't belong in that category at all."
Sowore knocks Tinubu over fuel subsidies removal
He was then asked if he was convinced that because of his patriotism to the Nigerian people, he should come and assist the government in finding a solution to the country's problems. What would be his response? Sowore said he did not believe the Tinubu administration had the intention of helping Nigerians.
His response read:
"I am not going to help those who are not here to help Nigerians. If they were here to help Nigerians, they would not have plunged them into the multi-dimensional poverty they did the first day they came into power by removing subsidies.
"They wouldn't have done it by floating the naira. You can't do it by awarding a contract that is very hidden and not transparent for N15 trillion to a friend of the president."
