The activist said the likes of Peter Obi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabi'u Kwankwaso, and President Bola Tinubu should be rotting in jail instead of "appearing on our electoral ballots".

#RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore, has knocked Mr Peter Obi, a former Labour Party presidential candidate, for inaugurating a “pepper-grinding machine to pump water for Nigerian victims”.

Controversy had surrounded Obi's inauguration of a borehole in a community in Kaduna State. While some people commended the former Anambra governor for the gesture, others condemned it, especially as it was done with media coverage.

Reacting to the video of the inauguration, Sowore, a former African Action Congress presidential candidate, said he couldn't believe that Obi, a governor who spent eight years in power, could cut the ribbon to open a “pepper-grinding machine to pump water,” adding that his generation of leaders did everything they could to spread poverty amongst the people.

The activist said the likes of Peter Obi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabi'u Kwankwaso, and President Bola Tinubu should be rotting in jail instead of "appearing on our electoral ballots".

He stated: "This is unbelievable; it is the worst thing I have watched in a long time, couldn't believe that @PeterObi, who was twice a governor of a Nigerian state, will be cutting the ribbon to commission a pepper-grinding machine to pump water for Nigerian victims.

"May this set of politicians never happen to any country. This is so sad.

"I agree with @PeterObi that his generation of leaders/rulers did everything they could to spread poverty amongst our people, so they could mock them with tokenism like this.

"And it is the reason I will keep insisting that the @PeterObi’s, the @atiku’s, the @KwankwasoRM’s and @officialABAT’s of this world should be rotting In jail instead of appearing on our electoral ballots! #RevolutionNow."
