The Digest:
Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), says he turned down an invitation to attend the National Opposition Summit in Ibadan, describing it as an attempt by entrenched political figures to rebrand themselves without accountability. In an X post, he said: "There is no need to pretend that the same men who held Nigeria to ransom for years... can suddenly reinvent themselves as champions of progress."
Key Points:
- Sowore said his party will not be part of any "charade" to recycle failed political actors.
- He accused opposition leaders of presiding over "stagnation, corruption, and systemic decay."
- He said Nigerians are not suffering from amnesia.
- The AAC will present a "people-driven alternative" rooted in integrity.
- He rejected both the APC and "opportunistic counterparts" in ADC, PDP, and Labour Party.
Sowore insists Nigeria needs a genuine alternative, not a rearrangement of "broken pieces."
