Nigeria: No, Nigerian Presidential Candidate Omoyele Sowore Didn't Say He Would Legalise 'Weed Smoking', Statement Out of Context

[Africa Check] IN SHORT: A quote attributed to Nigerian opposition politician Omoyele Sowore has him saying he would legalise "weed smoking" if elected president. But while he supports the legalisation of the growing of marijuana for the sake of the Nigerian economy, and has been outspoken about this, we found no evidence he's campaigning for the legalisation of smoking the drug.
