Sowore Critiques Peter Obi's Political Integrity in Nigeria

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), criticized Peter Obi, his counterpart in the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), calling him an unprincipled politician who frequently changes political platforms before elections. Sowore accused the NDC of profiting ₦9 billion from the sale of nomination forms and alleged that Obi's political actions are not aimed at liberating Nigerians but rather at helping the ruling establishment deflect public anger and avoid accountability ahead of the 2027 general election.

In a post on 𝕏, Sowore stated that Obi and his allies do not genuinely oppose President Bola Tinubu's administration but are instead managing opposition to prevent a strong challenge to his government. He referenced a comment from Datti Baba-Ahmed, Obi's former running mate in the 2023 presidential election, who described Tinubu as their "favourite uncle." Sowore also accused other political figures, including Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Abia State Governor Alex Otti, of distracting Nigerians from critical social and political issues.
