The African Action Congress party (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has been slammed by many Nigerians for disrespecting the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mattew Kukah.
National Daily reports that in a photo making the rounds online, Sowore is seen placing his leg on a platform the clergyman was sitting on.
Such an act is considered poor etiquette, however, it could be an oversight on the part of Sowore.
Reacting, many Nigerian blasted Sowore saying he has no respect for Kukah and cannot serve as a local government chairman or Governor of a state.

@marksapostle: “Sowore lacks even the commonest basics to lead a house fellowship.
Sowore had no respect for Bishop Kukah. For Sowore to place his legs on the platform where the Bishop is sitting shows that Sowore has a problem with attitudes and character. Sowore cannot be a local government Chairman talkless of to become a governor of a state. Shame.”
