We are shocked that the Lagos State chapter of INEC have decided to throw caution into the whirlwinds by concluding to contract the distribution of sensitive elections materials to the Lagos State Parks Management led by Musiliu Akinsanya AKA MC Oluomo.

The African Action Congress (AAC) strongly believe this is a joke taken too far. For obvious reasons that the Park Management and MC Oluomo are open members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and particularly the failed ruling party’s presidential candidate; Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

We want to ask Professor Mahmood Yakubu whether Mr. Olusegun Agbaje, the INEC Resident Commissioner in Lagos is still a staff of INEC or a usurper of it’s avowed directives. We recall that Prof Yakubu promised at the infamous Chatham House conference that INEC will do everything within it’s powers to make sure the elections is not rigged. So, how come a notorious thug and imposed ruler of the Motor Parks is now the one to handle the logistics of the February 25th Elections?

Is Professor Yakubu and Mr Olusegun Agbaje of INEC telling Lagosians that we should not bother to vote anymore?
Or is Mr Agbaje not aware that Tinubu openly confessed how the 2015 Elections in Lagos were rigged in favour of current Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu? The video is in the public!

What MC Oluomo and the neo-fascist Parks Management would do is to send ballot materials to only APC strongholds, and disenfranchise other Lagosians. Where the votes are against Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu; they would simply do “Korope”; as Tinubu noted in the leaked rigging video, to sort of ballot boxes where they have lost. And only deliver ballot boxes that favour APC to the collation center.

We want to warn INEC not to burn this elections. AAC will mobilize Nigerians to reject all impunity. We will resist all forms of rigging and stand with Lagosians and Nigerians in their plans to destroy the greedy self-proclaimed landlords of Lagos.

With the current pains and hardships in fuel crises, Naira scarcity, and high cost of living, the APC is yet ashamed of the mess they have put all Nigerians. They believe they can march our heads in the mud and also openly and brazenly rig elections.

The masses will rise very soon to massively protest the madness economic hardships imposed by Buhari and Emefiele, while they will also jettison the fake messiahs in Labour Party who are now openly and shamelessly supporting the wickedness of the CBN, banks, oil Marketers, and the Buhari government. AAC has been clear from the beginning that APC/PDP/LP/NNPP are all four fingers of the leprous hands of the fascist and failed primitive and barbaric capitalist system being forcefully piloted by Buhari.

We therefore give Mr Olusegun Agbaje, and Professor Mahmood Yakubu 48 hours to reverse all the plans to allow the APC through MC Oluomo to have unfettered access to the sensitive elections materials, with serious apologies.

We also call on INEC to immediately transfer Mr Olusegun Agbaje away from Lagos. Most political parties, especially the AAC cannot trust Mr Agbaje to lead the Lagos elections free and fair.

We want to finally urge Lagosians to be ready for #IrapadaEko, where a greenhorn political party that stands with Lagosians under the rains and in the sun for the past four years, would be voted in. Akeem Olayiwola and Ben Eze are disciplined members of the only socialist party on the ballot: the African Action Congress (AAC) whose presidential candidate is Comrade Omoyele Sowore.

AAC has been fighting alongside Lagosians in all of their travails in the hands of police, land grabbers, Iyalojas, LASTMA, and the ruinous greedy government at Alausa. A vote for AAC is a vote for #RevolutionNow!

Spokesperson,
AAC Lagos State Campaign Council.

The presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) in the presidential debates with his opponents on climate change and environmental concerns has said if people properly live their lifestyles, no harm would be done to the environment.

The AAC flagbearer, Omoyele Sowore while fielding questions on environmental issues has said their goal in AAC party is to also challenge the people creating environmental problems in this course of addressing the problems..

“Our goal in our party, the African Action Congress is not only to address environmental problems but also to phase out the major political parties in Nigeria that are creating environmental problems particularly the APC and PDP and their overflow party.

He urged the students to find it in their hearts to make sure to elect the right people to govern the country, people who are versatile and can interact at least with students.

He said most people think when issues of environments are being discussed, the discussion revolves around environmental sanitation, houses or growing of foods alone. Whereas the environment determines the climate changes and vice versa.

“Our lifestyles, if properly done, cannot harm the environment.
When Ken Saro Wiwa stood up and challenged the government and the international companies, it came to most people’s awareness that the Niger Delta region is not only being destroyed but the activities of the oil drilling companies are also destroying the ozone layer above our heads.

He mentioned that Nigeria has had a major flood that has killed people and the problems are being left unnoticed and unaddressed.

Sowore, who is the only geographer among the presidential candidates, said there is a comprehensive way in dealing with environmental crises affecting the people.

He said one of the ways is to generate sustainable living in the country and it starts with generating electricity with all other sources that can be provided to achieve that. “We are going to jettison the use of fossil fuel in this country.

He also stated that oil resources are the biggest source of crime in the world. The biggest criminals are those who drill oil because they don’t only kill people, they also kill the environment.

He said he will as the president of nigeria ensure a law that will punish environmental pollutants.

Sowore on channels tv, in an interview with roadmap has said he will win the presidential election comes 2023. Omoyele, the presidential candidate of African Action Congress said he will win the coming election because a lot of Nigerian people are tired of the bad system.

“A lot of people in their millions are tired of this old system of doing politics. They are tired of hunger, starvation, scarcity, terrorism, banditry, corruption in this country and they have indicated that they want to turn things around and I have presented myself to do so and I have made very powerful arguments wherever I have been given the opportunity.

“My credibility and consistency of thirty years can be attested to. Nigerians don’t want the same people who were governors for eight years and ruin their states. They don’t want people who have never stood up for anything. I have been standing up for the Nigerian people for most of my life and I have never been remunerated for it, and I am not looking for remuneration.

“I just want to keep doing what I know how to do best, which is to stand up for the people who are vulnerable in our society and those who may not be vulnerable but deserve a better place to live. Not everybody wants to leave Nigeria, some people want to stay. And there are so many people who leave
and later discover the grass is not as green as thought on the other side.

He said he is standing up for them and he believes, having been made and given the opportunity to present himself, Nigerians can see transparency through him and vote for a leader that can work for them .

“A leader that is capable, a leader that has integrity, a leader that believes in progress and prosperity for the country, a leader that has ideas and is able to present them and share them with many people.

“I don’t just think I will win, I know I will win. Because it will be a win-win for the Nigerian people and I believe they will take that decision sooner than later, he said.”

In an interview with the NTA, the presidential candidate of African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore has said he is more experienced than all of his opponents combined. Recounting his involvement in the past events he said, “I have been part of every event in this country from which there was a transition of governance to another.
“When I was a student leader, I was part of these people who fought, that is leadership. I was a leader who took bold steps to say military rule must end.

“It took us a while, there were bruises, i was detained at least eight times before i left nigeria, i was expelled twice and was almost killed at the university of lagos, i was poisoned at a time and after ten years in 1999, that process came to an end an we were victorious.

He said if he was a soldier, his name would have been written in Gold.
“If I were to be in the Nigerian army, having fought for ten years, I would have been given different titles. My shoulder would be filled with epaulets because I would have been a victorious soldier.

He mentioned his consistency in the involvement of the continuous transition of government

“After that I left the country, there was another transition that was needed which was from civilian to civilian transition which ended in 2007. I was one of the people who sent obasanjo off from becoming a third term president.

“I made another transition which was professional. I studied geography and planning at the university of lagos and ended up becoming a successful journalist.

He said these are the track records that people look at. Leaders who are dynamic, who can adapt and speak to issues, who can stand up for issues, who understand leadership, followership, who understand the issue affecting their people.

“I became a publisher in 2006, Sahara reporters became a global brand. I opted not to go to the world economic forum but i opted not to go to the world economic forum, i went to the world social forum instead to learn about social issues, land, resources, and when that ended there is another transition in this country that people didn’t take note of.

“We had a president that was voted into power in 2007 then, he was sick. This country was held to ransom by cabals behind that late president, and when the country was looking for people to resolve the problem, I came in handy, using sahara reporters to expose every part of the schemings behind.

“There was supposed to be a coup but the publication we did which is now confirmed by the former chief of army staff by that time thwarted the coup.

He said being experienced has nothing to do with being in power alone.

“It might just be that you are a great witness of history, it is a great experience because that helps you understand your country better. What serious countries call experience is not occupation of offices or power, it is character and capacity that the person must have developed himself over time, understanding the issues and solving problems, whether in the private or public sector.

“I have been of service to my country. I have been a public servant but as a citizen servant as opposed to a paid public servant.

“Any experience that carries sacrifices is more important than the one that carries remuneration.

“I am better experienced than most of them because I have sacrificed everything I could that I have, to become the leader that I have become today, he said.”

The presidential candidate of African Action Congress, Omoyele sowore in an interview with NTA has refuted the popular saying that Nigeria is a complex state.
He said Nigeria is not as complex as people think. “Whoever says Nigeria is complex hasn’t been to a complex society.
“I have lived in the United States for 20 years and just one state in the US, Alaska, is bigger than nigeria. California is half of Nigeria, Texas is seventy five percent of Nigeria, these are just three states and there are fifty of those states managed by one person, the president of the us.

“But because we’ve been conditioned to believe that every problem is complex then we often refer to Nigeria as a complex place to govern. “I understand that there are two hundred and fifty different languages and several other tribes and cultures managed but that is not an excuse for anyone who wants to manage a state or a country within which you can get from one destination to another in an hour and fifteen minutes. I’ve been to countries that should typically be more complex than nigeria.

He said he has been to third world countries, peaceful countries, socialist countries, communist countries, capitalist countries and all of them are governed by one person.

He said solutions to the supposed complexity is what matters. “The moment we throw the complexity of a country as an excuse, we are not looking for a solution but a pity party.

“Leaders look for solutions and not to define complexity as something that cannot be overcome.
We have overcome different ages, from the stone age to a very computerized age and now we are in the age that is defined by artificiality, artificial intelligence.

He maintains that there is nothing complex about constructing a good road network from Lagos to maiduguri.
“It shouldn’t be complex to build hospitals nor be complex to finish Lagos ibadan expressway, the AAC flagbearer said.”
