Nigerian business leader and 2027 presidential hopeful, Princess Olatorera Majekodunmi-Oniru, has condemned the arrest of the rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, describing it as unprovoked and a national signal that must lead to transformative change.
The condemnation was contained in a statement she issued on August 8.
She said the arrest had revealed the reality of Nigeria’s current political climate, where citizens are arrested and hounded into detention for mere expression of opinion. She also declared that Nigerians have all the power to choose between President Bola Tinubu, Peter Obi or a greater future in 2027
Part of the statement reads: “The unprovoked arrest of political activist, Omoyele Sowore, has once again revealed the reality of Nigeria’s political climate. No formal charge, no legal explanation, and no transparency.
“The 2027 game has already begun and at this point, citizens are either Batified, Obidient, or fighting for Nigeria’s soul.
“We have lost 65 years. Are we and our trailing generations willing to lose another four years? Are we joining the status quo or will we do all it takes to change the game?”
On her thoughts about President Tinubu, she said: “Let us be honest about Tinubu. His entire public profile is allegedly built on falsities, ranging from his age to his academic records, his health status, and his wealth. His leadership has normalised corruption, rewarded cronies and turned public service into a mafia operation. What we are witnessing is not leadership, it is network maintenance while the majority perish.”
She also expressed her thoughts on Obi when she urged Nigerians to question Obi beyond image and rhetoric.

She said, “Peter Obi presents himself as a break from the old, but his roots are in the same soil.
“He speaks of change, but benefits from the regressive system. His speeches are polished, but allegedly mostly written by aides. His vision is marketed, not lived. He is not the worst of the old system, but he is very much a product of it.
“He may be more refined than Tinubu but that does not make him the change Nigeria needs. Nigeria does not need managed branding, it needs moral courage.”
On Sowore, she also said: “For many decades, he has refused to join the game. He has no political godfather, no stolen wealth, no corruption baggage. He has always stood for justice. He is courageous and genuinely committed to the people, a rare ethical voice in Nigerian politics.
“But activism is not governance. He must pivot. Enough of protesting from the sidelines. Nigeria needs him to step up and take the presidency.
“He has the heart but he must now bring strategy, structure and the will to win. The time to act is now, while his ideals are still fresh and his energy uncompromised.”
On Nigeria’s future, she called for the rejection of recycled leadership and the embracing of a new era defined by competence, integrity, and vision.
She said, “Citizens deserve more than orchestrated deception. We must stop choosing leaders who thrive on manipulation and mediocrity. Nigeria is a nation of brilliance. We must be led by those who elevate, not exploit.
“Our future lies in the thumbprint of every Nigerian who dares to think wisely, vote truly and protect every vote. Nigerians have the power. The question is, will we remain Batified, Obidient, or will we be Sowored and United for a greater Nigeria?”
