Sowore Labels Obi a "Packaged Fraud" Over Healthcare Failures

Omoyele Sowore, the 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has publicly criticized former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, calling him a "packaged fraud" for his failure to enhance healthcare services during his eight years in office. Sowore alleged that the longest recorded doctors' strike in human history occurred in Anambra State during Obi's administration.

He questioned Obi's promises to establish primary healthcare facilities in every ward if elected president, arguing that Obi did not prioritize hospital development while in office. Sowore made these allegations in a post on his X handle on October 30, 2026, urging Nigerians not to be misled by politicians who present a false image of their records.

This criticism is part of a series of attacks Sowore has made against Obi, including previous comments about Obi's former running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, acknowledging Obi's shortcomings. Sowore emphasized the need for voters to be cautious of politicians who misrepresent their governance records.
