Reactions to the video were swift, with Nigerians sharing their thoughts:

• Opara: “Sowore was expecting an appointment then, no wonder.”
• Kardinal: “So if he celebrated back then, he’s not allowed to protest now? Buhari failed, and that’s the point!”
• Rasheed: “Nothing to see here, Reno. Most Nigerians were optimistic about PMB back then.”

As the protests continue, the resurfaced video adds yet another layer of complexity to Sowore’s role as a key protest figure.
