Sowore Rejects Opposition Coalition, Predicts Its Collapse

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), announced on Thursday that he would not join a proposed opposition coalition, asserting that it would not last beyond the 2027 general elections. Speaking at an event organized by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Sowore criticized the coalition as a temporary arrangement that would fail to address the challenges facing Nigerians.

He expressed concerns over the severe economic hardships citizens are experiencing. Additionally, Sowore revealed that the AAC had applied to use Aso Rock for the inauguration of his presidential campaign council, arguing that opposition parties should have equal access to facilities used by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for political events.

He stated that Aso Rock belongs to all Nigerians and should not be exclusively reserved for the ruling party.
