Ex President Goodluck Jonathan has called for intensified prayer for the detained activist, Omoyele Sowore, who is set to be arraigned by the Department of State Security on Tuesday.

His adviser on media, Reno Omokri revealed this on Sunday via his Twitter account.

He tweeted, “I just spoke to former President Jonathan and urged him to read my column in today’s Thisday, titled ‘Sowore and Buhari: A Bromance Gone Sour!’

He paused for a while, then responded, ‘Reno, instead of writing about what he did against me, I prefer that you pray for the young man. Help him if you can. He didn’t know what he was doing’.

I was stunned. There was silence on my end for something like 5 second’s. Then President Jonathan said, ‘Reno, are you still there? I can’t even remember my response. I think I stammered.
