The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, in the 2023 general elections, Omoyele Sowore, has again attacked members of the opposition coalition.
Since the coalition adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as its platform, the new political movement has been receiving knocks from Sowore.
Sowore again knocked the coalition on Wednesday, when he appeared as a guest on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television.
He described the coalition as populated by individuals whose track records made it impossible for him to align with them politically.
“For me, the issue of a coalition is personal. To some extent, it’s a general issue about governance and politics. But there are just too many people in the coalition you’re mentioning that I can’t sit across the table from without being tempted to act out of my character,”; he said.
The right activist also alleged that many figures in the coalition have betrayed Nigerians, calling them people who have done what is regarded as evil and who lacked conscience, character, and pedigree.
“There’s no amount of conditions you can give to them that will wash their ways or change how they behave. These are typically people whose way of life is being evil, doing bad, being corrupt, short-changing the public, and being selfish,”; he added.
The publisher of Sahara Reporters emphasized that his position was not based on mere opinions but on documented evidence of the conduct and lifestyle of those involved.
He argued that while there were individuals in Nigeria’s political landscape who genuinely wanted to save the country, others in both the ruling party and the opposition were simply preparing to exploit Nigerians further.
DAILY POST reports that the opposition coalition adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as its political party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The coalition is made up of a former vice president, Atiku Abubakar; the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; a former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola; a former Kaduna governor, Nasir El-Rufai; and a former senate president, David Mark, among others.
