Omoyele Sowore reacted to Tracy Ohiri’s viral apology to David Umahi, saying his support for her was to defend a vulnerable person against a powerful official while questioning reports of a ₦100 million settlement and the circumstances surrounding the apology.
Following the now viral apology video by Tracy Ohiri, the business woman who accused the Minister of Works David Umahi of failing to clear a N250 million debt after she was allegedly engaged for a job, rights activist Omoyele Sowore has reacted.
Recall that Sowore was at the forefront of the campaign for Ohiri to get justice amid reported allegations of sexual harassment levelled against the minister.
Commenting on the latest development in a Facebook post, Sowore wrote:
“Per TracyNither Nicolas Ohiri so-called “Apology” Video To Works Minister, David Umahi: We didn’t fight for her (Mrs. ohiri) because we believed she was strong; we fought for her because we knew she was vulnerable and lacked the privilege needed to withstand her adversary, a powerful Nigerian minister.
Perhaps Engineer David Umahi should explain where the ₦100 million reportedly set aside to settle the matter came from, along with the video he strongly demanded be made to exonerate him from the most serious allegations and the agreement to withdraw the criminal charges. Our duty is fulfilled the moment we stand up for the weak against the powerful.”
