Sowore Accuses NDC Leaders of ₦9bn Nomination Form Profits

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), accused leaders of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) of generating ₦9 billion from the sale of nomination forms while allegedly managing the party from their homes. Sowore criticized NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi for frequently shifting political parties without a true commitment to opposing Nigeria's political establishment.

He described Obi as an unprincipled politician who uses political parties during elections to divert public anger and shield the political elite from accountability. Sowore claimed that Obi and his allies are not genuinely interested in ending President Bola Tinubu's administration but are instead focused on controlling the opposition to prevent a stronger challenge to the government.

He also mentioned that supporters of Obi and other political figures attempt to discredit critics and distract from Nigeria's social and political issues. Sowore's remarks come amid political realignments as parties prepare for the 2027 presidential election.
