AAC Denounces Rumored Alliance With Labour Party, Says AAC Not In Alliance With Any Party In Abia State

The African Action Congress Abia Chapter has issued a disclaimer disassociating the party from the rumored alliance with the Labour party in the state.

The court of appeal and federal high court has given a final verdict and declared Mr Omoyele Sowore as the Party chairman on thursday 2nd of June 2022, against the party usurpers.

The statement proceeded to dissociate the party from activities of certain state sponsored usurpers who had long been shown the way out of the party by legitimate organs of the African Action Congress.

The disclaimer released from the office of the Abia State chairman and duly signed by the state’s secretary says:
“The State Executive Committee of the African Action Congress inform
the general public once again about the judgment of the Court of Appeal on
Thursday 2nd of June 2020 and the judgment of Federal High Court,
Abuja on 5th December 2022 removing the IMPOSTORS led by Mr.
Leonard Nzenwa and his co-travelers.
Delivering the Judgment on behalf of the three man panel of the Appeal
Court Justice AJ. Adah held the expulsion of Mr. Leonard Nzenwa, Mr.
Charles Orji and co from our party, the AAC.

The party’s authentic National Chairman is Comrade Omoyele Sowore who
is the Presidential candidate of the party. The party’s National Secretary is
Comrade Ina Okopi-Agu as affirmed by the Court of Appeal.
The present and authentic Abia State Chairman for African Action Congress
is Comrade Azumaibe Kelechiukwu.
Mr. Leonard Nzenwa who is still criminally parading himself as the national
Chair of the party, Mr. Charles Orji criminally parading himself as the Abia
State chairman of African Action Congress and co are nothing but
IMPOSTORSas declared by Court of Appeal on the 2nd of June 2022 and the
judgement of Federal High Court, Abuja on 5th December, 2022.

It is absolute falsehood and in deed disingenuous, the propaganda being
sponsored by these sunken men that Abia State Governorship candidate of
African Action Congress (AAC) Chief Bond Ohuche has endorsed Mr. Alex
Otti of Labour Party. This is a deception, media manipulation and an
infantile attempt to create a hoax by the enemies of Abia.
African Action Congress (AAC) is the only Revolutionary Party in this
race which has the ideology capable of redeeming Abia State in particular and
Nigeria at large from the hands of the oppressors and their hirelings hiding in
various parties as change agents.

Our formidable candidate in Abia, Chief Bond Ohuche is the only credible
alternative and we urge Ndi Abia to massively vote for him and AAC
across board.
We therefore warn the general public to be alert so as to avoid the dangers of
dealing with Political IDPs masquerading as AAC officials.
African Action Congress (AAC) is not in Alliance with Labour Party or any
other party in the state.

Our Goal Is To Develop The Capacity To Feed Ourselves, And The Continent Of Africa: Sowore

The presidential candidate of African Action Congress, Mr. Omoyele sowore has said that his goal, and that of his party is to have the capacity to feed ourselves as a country and feed the continent of Africa. Speaking at the Party’s People’s Assembly in Benue, the AAC flag bearer said ” Our goal, and that of our party, the African Action Congress is to develop the capacity to feed ourselves as a country as well as the continent of Africa, and we are going to focus on Benue state as one of the sources of this particular policy”.

Mr Omoyele sowore promised education, healthcare, justices, infrastructures and better welfare for the people of Benue state and Nigeria at large.

He also said AAC is an equal opportunity party. He mentioned this while commending the Benue (AAC) deputy governorship candidate at the people’s assembly in Makurdi.

He said, “Our party is an equal opportunity party and our position is that women should not only be playing second field with men because they are stronger than men. They create, recreate, establish, authority over men from time to time.
“In this dispensation, there have been more women registered voters in nigeria history, ever. About forty seven percent of them are registered to vote. That is to say if they convince their loved ones to vote for a female president, Nigeria can produce a female president even in 2023. I am not one of those who do pity parties for women; let’s give them 35 percent.
If you are forty seven percent of the voters, take forty seven percent.

He said in Rwanda, almost seventy five percent of their lawmakers are females. And that country is doing well in africa today. He said men should be ashamed of themselves in nigeria.
“We exact authority all the time but look at the country ruled by men. Let’s try women next time.

He also said nigerians are tired of the old system of governance.
“Nigerians are tired of hunger, starvation and strikes. Nigeria is the only country in the world that is not at war but has got internally displaced persons inside the country. Nigeria leaders are disgracing nigeria. And by reputation, Nigeria is letting down a lot of African citizens and countries.

He said at a time in this country, the people who were running Nigeria were in their twenties. Nigeria is therefore not making progress if in 2023 the likely president of Nigeria is 95 years old.

“I have no problem with old people, I only have problems with old ideas because Old ideas have set Nigeria back by centuries. For how long shall we continue like this? it is impossible for this country to make progress with the present crop of leaders and presidential candidates contesting. He said the labour party is the overflow of PDP. Same people, same character, same operators who were packaged to look different.

FULL TEXT OF SPEECH DELIVERED BY THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS(AAC), COMRADE OMOYELE SOWORE, AT THE NATIONAL PEACE COMMITTEE WITH NIGERIAN POLITICAL PARTIES CHAIRMEN AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ON THE 20TH JANUARY 2023 IN ABUJA.

My name is Omoyele sowore. I am the presidential candidate of the action congress, and i am going to be the nigerian president after february 2023.

I want to say here and it’s very important to me that I observed one of the most peaceful elections in 1993. Had we allowed that election to stand, we would not be signing a peace agreement today because that you are signing a peace agreement in nigeria shows that elections have become war in nigeria.

This is the only country in the world where you sign a peace agreement during an election season as if we are at war, but that is what our elders did to nigeria and i think next time we should sign a peace agreement with the elders who are instigating violence in this country or have them sign peace agreement between themselves, because peace is not breached by poor people, poor people suffer the consequences of violence.

When you look at elections, the people that suffer the most are those poor women and men and when there is a breakdown of law and order in Nigeria, every richman politically connected gets enough police protection and they are able to get on a jet and leave Nigeria at the slightest provocation.

This is where we are, and I should also say that some of the people that are instigators of violence during the election are not in this hall. They are the versatile representatives of some of the men and women in this hall. There state governors in particular, you need to get them to sign a peace accord.

Some of them are the most violent and violence people in nigeria. They demonstrated it in Kogi state. A woman was burnt alive in her house and till today, the killers of that woman has not been fished out in nigeria. In Kano, there is someone campaigning that if they don’t win the election, they will kill everybody in kano. In Borno state it is the same thing. Lagos, where the APC hosts were, you cannot paste a poster if it’s not bola ahmed asiwaju poster in lagos, i just came back from lagos.

They have a team that tears anybody’s poster that is not their candidate’s poster. You cannot even pay for your poster or banner to be hosted in lagos. They have a bureaucracy in place that makes it impossible for you to do.

How can there be peace in a country where there is no justice? We keep lying to ourselves all the time. I also want to say for the rest of us as you’ve treated us today because we don’t have resources and we don’t have powerful connections, we don’t have access to state resources. Most of the other candidates use and abuse state resources, they have governors who dip their hands into state treasury and use them to fund their candidates activity and nobody is challenging them.

Once in a while, when they want to tickle your fancy, the EFCC comes around to play at the playground of the political parties. Two political parties are particularly notorious for this. They buy votes at their primaries and in the final election.

How do you compete with these people if elections are supposed to be about justice and bringing about great leadership and bringing about peace and developments. How do great people win elections in a country where terrible people control all the resources of your country? That’s another issue for another day.

>The other part is the media, and I should say this because I am a media practitioner too. They have short several of us out. Also i will accuse the media of bola ahmed tinubu, they have never interviewed me in this election, that is the TVC news. They have blacklisted some of us. But they are supposed to be a public media that should attend to everybody.

>Security agencies have allegiance and loyalty to just a few people, that is the truth. I was almost ran out of the road in ibadan just yesterday because atiku was in ibadan to campaign and i was also there to campaign but i had one car, atiku had over forty. i had no police, atiku had over five hundred policemen attached to him.

I will say finally that nobody should lose hope in this hall, especially those of us at the receiving end of the injustices in this country. One day, the table would turn! Thank you very much.

Let Bygones Be Bygones, Peace Committee Chairman, General Abdulsalam Abubakar Pleads With Sowore

The Presidential Candidate of African Action Congress(AAC), Omoyele Sowore has said his disagreement with major Mustapha Hamza is political, saying they came from the military era..
Mr Omoyele Sowore took to his social media handle and said, “I was asked by Chair of the National Peace Committee, General Abubakar Abdusalam to “reconcile” with Major Hamza Mustapha. I was very clear that my disagreement was political, that I have issues with all the military people that annulled the June 12, 1993 elections including him!”

Reacting to this, Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar said “I think you carry so many ideas. By the time you become the president of this country, some of us will leave this country.”

It is rooted historically that major mustapha hamza was involved in the annulments of june 12 1993 election and he also aided the killing of MKO Abiola while serving as the chief security officer to gen sanni abacha.

Our Fighting Track Record Delivered Democracy To Nigerians


Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Mr. Omoyele Sowore has said that he has better track records than other Presidential candidates in the race. Speaking with Fresh FM, Ibadan the AAC flag bearer said “We are now in the age of democracy and Nigeria became a democratic nation through our track record and that’s far bigger.
“Had I not done that with the young people of then, there wouldn’t be elections or political parties.
“We are the frontrunners in creating the path towards democracy and every other thing I have done ever since then points to the fact that I have been consistent in building and strengthening the culture of democracy in the country without getting paid for it.”

Speaking about the revolution he is aiming at in Nigeria, he said there are no two revolutions.
“I am not trying to build a toyota truck called revolution. It is a revolution that will bring a total change, it will change the course of history, make life great for people in this country, make everything that ought to be for people get to them. Not a system that changes from time to time.”
He said his revolution will ascribe to people the dignity they deserve and ultimately his revolution is for the continent of Africa, where the African man will become proud, owning a resource and processing it, where they don’t have to be rich and poor at the same time.

“There will be solid but revolutionary institutional reforms in which we would deal with the issue of security, power sector, unemployment, education, technology and sustainability.
He said Foundational issues would be about restructuring, changing the Nigerian constitution, ensuring Nigerians define the path of unity, nationhood and progress, peace and prosperity for themselves, just and fair distribution of resources.
Facing the anchors he said, “You will understand what it means to have a revolution when you live under a revolutionary government.”

Speaking on education, he said in his time no classrooms in the university should have more than twenty five students. He said he was a lecturer in two universities in New York and the largest class was twenty seven students. He said he wants to create a learning and conducive environment.
In summary, Mr Omoyele Sowore spoke about electricity. He said to have permanent electricity in Nigeria, within his first two years in office, he would push towards ten thousand additional megawatts of electricity and ensure that by his fourth year, he has done twenty thousands megawatts of electricity.

I Benefited From Awolowo’s Free Education, I Will Replicate Same As Nigeria’s President


The presidential candidate of African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore said in an interview on agidigbo 88.7FM, Ibadan that he wants to be the president of Nigeria because the country is not progressing as it should. That’s why he came back to join politics to change the status quo.

He said they never trusted the politicians when they were student leaders. He benefited from awolowo’s free education and he wants to replicate that. The human right activist said he would do whatever it takes to impact humanity.

He revealed that AAC couldn’t have more than eighteen gubernatorial candidates out of the thirty six states due to the issues with the party usurpers.

Addressing his idea on marijuana, He mentioned that cannabis is medicinal and it has commercial value like cocoa. He said the country can generate revenue from legalizing cannabis.

Speaking about his opponents he said Atiku, the presidential candidate of PDP has been the vice president of Nigeria and his administration did not invest in education but privatized universities, making it hard for common people to go to school.
He said Obi did not build any hospital he can go to for treatment, nor build any standardized school.
He said Tinubu has no progressive record and he is not physically fit.

He disputes the news of the supposed misappropriation of his election funds now and then. I have been transparent and accountable, that was just a mere propaganda against my personality, he said.

Speaking on his relationship with the PRP, he said there is an alliance between the People’s Redemption Party and his party, African Action Congress.

I Have Never Stopped Campaigning Since The 2019 Election, Sowore

Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore has said he has never stopped campaigning since the 2019 elections. He made this statement at an interview with Jamz FM Ibadan. According to the human rights activist, the difference this time around is that there is an alliance with another political party with similar ideology and the people who believed him more than the last time would entrust their votes in electing him.
“If for instance you didn’t believe me when i said in 2019 that there is police brutality, you would probably believe after #Endsars. If you did not believe in 2019 when i said the economy is hard, you are probably feeling it now because you’ve seen what the value of naira has become. I’ve kept speaking about these issues and putting out ideas to solve them and nobody can say it didn’t come to pass. However, I am not in this race to become a certified protester or a prophet. I am here to change the narrative because of history, he said.”

Mr Sowore refutes that he has always been talking about education, sports, economy and not only corruption and insecurity. He said he is the only presidential candidate that has joined the students in fighting for the reopening of their schools and as a sportsman, he is always involved in sports. He has talked about how to solve electricity problems and varieties of things as to challenges facing the country. Corruption in Nigeria is aided by the refusal of the system to advance the processing of wealths, he made mention in response to his explicit talk on corruption without touching other aspects.
“We can blog our contracting with blockchain technology such that the e money that is involved can be tracked to the last person. This will reduce corruption significantly, he said in addition.”

Addressing the statement that people see him more as a human right activist than a politician, comrade Sowore replied that the primary job of a politician is to protect the rights of people who have elected them. “I am an honest person, that’s why I don’t like being referred to as a politician.
You should trust me because I have demonstrated over three decades that I can be trusted. Anybody who puts his life on the line for a course should be trusted. Politicians don’t do that. They will rather sacrifice the country for their own personal interest.
He said he has no blemish record. He has never been involved in any shady business nor collected any contract before. He said one of the decisions he took when he founded Sahara reporters was never to collect any government advertisement.
My activities have shown character, integrity and resilience. Someone who has all these qualities combined together can be banked with, he said.”
He further asked a rhetorical question, “who would you keep your money with, atiku tinubu or sowore?”

Addressing the question on trust, the presidential candidate said individuals should be judged based on what they choose to do in life. He said his calling is to fight for the rights of others and durings his time he brought about something that was scarce in Nigeria for a long time which was democracy.
He has stopped powerful people from abusing the rights of others. He has been a university lecturer who impacts knowledge. He has built a brand(Sahara Reporters) that employs and trains young people.
He said he has done what he chose to do very well and if he was to be a soldier, he would be a general by now.
He claimed his opponents who once governed a state before had nothing to show for it.
He said he wants to project a different example on how to be a public servant either officially or unofficially. “I have served the public as a citizen of this country and if I have the chance I will serve in an official capacity as the president.

AAC Is A Party Created And Dominated By Youths, Says Sowore

Speaking today at Impact Radio, Ibadan, Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress has said that his party, the AAC is a party created and dominated by young people.
He said, “AAC has no youth leader because it was created and dominated by the youths. He said the youths have always been at the frontline of political activities in nigeria. The youths fought for independence and won. They also fought for democracy and won.
He mentioned that other political parties should also allow their youths to take up important positions in their parties.

Addressing the identified problems of the country, he said the problems are two-fold; Institutional problems and foundational problems which is the bigger problem.
To resolve the issue of foundation problem is to create a brand new constitution which would be agreed upon by all Nigerians.
He said the constitution currently in use was created by the military using a decree, without considering if people want to coexist peacefully.
“Restructuring for a lot of people depends on where they come from. It has different definitions for different people. Nigeria is a diverse country. While some people want state police, some want to control their resources, some said it’s about devolution of power, whereas all these are not enshrined in the constitution. Amending the constitution is a waste of time and resources. A brand new constitution that is all encompassing is what is needed, he said in a response to a question on restructuring.

Speaking on structures, Sowore said the structures of a political organization are the people. The people form their own structures and pledge allegiance to candidates from time to time as it suits their own agenda. The structures on display are the transactional structures which are only used in election period. That is not a structure but a stomach infrastructure. He urged the people to constitute the structure of any genuine political movement. Any structure that is not rooted in the in the minds of the people is not worthy to be called a structure, he said.

Revealing his plans for the people as president, he said, “Our plans are based on SPICERHEATT, an acronym of our blueprints. It starts with SECURITY, POWER because no country in the world has ever industrialized and prosper without electricity. INFRASTRUCTURE, dealing with CORRUPTION, ECONOMIC system that allows nigeria to participate fully in the economy progress of the country and RESTRUCTURING, HEALTH, EDUCATION AGRICULTURE, TOURISM and TECHNOLOGY. This can be found on www.sowore 2023.org, he said.”
Sowore said implementing these ideas is very easy. There are several sources in which electricity can be generated, like biogas.
He also mentioned that the waste generated from Lagos State alone can generate electricity for the whole southwest.

Concerning education, he said he will properly invest in education and make education free at all levels. It is not rocket science. It has happened before, he said.

He also reiterated thee plan of the AAC to pay one hundred thousand study allowance to students every semester. He said ASUU could be allowed to go on strike because the government is less concerned about the common man and they don’t want the common person to get educated while they keep sending their wards to private schools and abroad.

I Was A University Professor In The US For 10 Years: Sowore

Addressing a question about his credentials and his source of income today on Space FM Ibadan, Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Mr. Sowore said he went to the university of lagos for his B.sc degree(1982-1995), he obtained his masters degree in public administration, columbia university. He founded Sahara reporters, an online media platform and he has also taught in two universities in the United states of america.
He said his political activities are also being sponsored by the people, using fundraising.

He proceeded further to make a case for electronic voting as a panacea for electoral malpractices.
Mr. Sowore said the way forward to rigging of election, over voting, ballot snatching, and electoral violence in Nigeria is electronic voting.
He said if people can do money transactions on their mobile gadgets, they should also be able to vote their leaders online like it is done in Brazil, instead of going through the stress of traveling interstates and queuing.
He mentioned that nigeria leaders are not ready for this advancement because it would be hard for them to rig and get involved in other forms of electoral malpractices to help them win.

Addressing questions on insecurity, he said mobilization of armed forces can only do little. Instead, the roots of the problem, which is the high rate of unemployment, poverty and education underfunding should be looked into and resolved.

Mr. Sowore further urged the people of Nigeria to forsake the structures that have brought them and the country by extension to no good.
He said the person that should be given the opportunity to govern the country should be someone of unquestionable character. The one who has pro people ideas and emotional intelligence, exposure and intellectual capacity, irrespective of the tribe, ethnic and religion should be elected to change the status quo.
