Sowore Promises Not to Seek Foreign Medical Care as President

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), made a firm commitment during an appearance on Channels Television on Thursday, stating that he would not seek medical treatment abroad if elected president. He expressed strong disapproval of Nigerian leaders who travel overseas for medical care, asserting, “Any ailments that I have in Nigeria, when I become president, that can’t be treated in Nigeria.

That illness better kill me.” Sowore also addressed questions regarding his children’s education, indicating that they were born in Nigeria and would likely have completed their schooling by the time he assumes the presidency. He emphasized his intention to serve the Nigerian people without bringing family liabilities, stating, “I’m coming to Nigeria as a person who’s coming to work for the Nigerian people.”.
