Sowore Criticizes Akpabio's Vote Promise for Tinubu

Omoyele Sowore, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), criticized Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, for his promise to deliver the highest votes for Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 elections. Sowore's remarks came after Akpabio's statement during a consultation with stakeholders in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, where he discussed his intentions to support Tinubu's re-election bid.

Sowore accused Akpabio of having a history of vote manipulation, referencing the 2019 elections where he claimed Akpabio's actions led to a lack of integrity in the electoral process. He emphasized that Akpabio's promises should be viewed with skepticism, given past experiences.

The statement was shared via Sowore's social media handle, highlighting the ongoing political tensions as the 2027 elections approach.
