Sowore distances from coalition, accuses Atiku, Mark, Obi, El-rufai, Amaechi of ‘crimes’
African Action Congress, AAC presidential candidate in 2023, Omoyele Sowore has vowed not to be part of the ongoing coalition of opposition figures ahead of the much anticipated 2027 election.
A human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju had in a post on Wednesday morning, called on Sowore to join forces with the opposition figures to wrestle power from the All Progressives Congress in 2027.
However, in a statement posted on his Facebook page, Sowore declared that he will not join the coalition, labelling the opposition figures as corrupt leaders.
Sowore said he won’t join the movement because he “did not join Atiku Abubakar in looting the Nigerian Customs dry.”
He accused former president of the Senate, David Mark of stealing “funds meant to fix our telephones”, stressing that the former lawmaker also “helped to crush our democratic hopes on June 12”.
Sowore alleged that former minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, who is also a member of the coalition, violated human rights and looted “the treasury under Muhammadu Buhari’s watch”.
He accused former governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai of orchestrating the alleged killing of Shiites and “fueling genocide in the Southern part of the state.”
On Peter Obi, Sowore said he didn’t join the former presidential candidate of Labour Party at the “Tin Can Ports while he cleared goods for Sani Abacha when the same Abacha that was dismantling Nigeria brick by brick”.
Several notable opposition figures met in Abuja on Wednesday when they finalized the adoption of the African Democratic Congress as a platform to sack APC in 2027.
