Sowore also noted that a bank in Nigeria froze his bank accounts since 2019, after he was arrested over #RevolutionNow protest on August 3rd 2019.

He said, “A @gtbank account I operated in Nigeria had N4,800 left in before my arrest, I managed to open a @kudabankhelp with N463.00 as of this evening.

“I also recently opened a @capitalone US bank account that has in it about $300, I have a @ZenithBank campaign account for the #Sowore2023 Presidential account. I have nothing more besides financial support that I occasionally get from friends and family (if those count as assets),” he added.

According to Sowore, he has never operated an offshore account(s) or worked with a tax haven to hide his assets, adding that the aforementioned assets are what he really has.

“These are the assets I have in my entire life.”

Sowore’s assets declaration is coming on the heels of calls by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) urging all  presidential candidates ahead of the February 2023 presidential election to urgently publish details of your assets and liabilities, and to publicly commit to rejecting vote buying and electoral bribery before and during the elections.

“I reject vote-buying on or before 2023 election date,”
