Sowore Declines Coalition Talks for 2027 Elections

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), announced that the party will not participate in any coalition aimed solely at replacing established politicians. This statement came in response to Professor Pat Utomi's initiative to form a single-candidate coalition for the 2027 elections.

Sowore expressed that the AAC is committed to offering Nigerians a different political direction, emphasizing its revolutionary agenda based on ideological clarity rather than political convenience. He clarified that neither he nor the AAC would engage in discussions led by Utomi's Political Commission, which aims to produce a single opposition candidate.

Sowore articulated that the AAC's mission is to promote social and economic justice, equal rights, accountable governance, and the redistribution of political and economic power to the Nigerian populace, rejecting any arrangement that merely substitutes one group of establishment politicians for another.
