The Presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 elections, Omoyele Sowore has said that the African Action Congress (AAC) won’t be part of any charade designed to recycle failed political actors under the guise of “opposition.”
Sowore in a post on his verified X handle said Nigerians deserve a genuine alternative and not recycled failure.
He noted: “I was invited to attend the so-called “Opposition Summit” in Ibadan, but I declined.
There is no need to pretend that the same men (and a few women) who held Nigeria to ransom for years, presiding over stagnation, corruption, and systemic decay, can suddenly reinvent themselves as champions of progress or defenders of the people.
“Not all Nigerians are suffering from amnesia. For the avoidance of doubt, our revolutionary party, the African Action Congress (@aacparty ), will not be part of any charade designed to recycle failed political actors under the guise of “opposition.”
“Instead, we are committed to presenting a formidable, people-driven alternative, one rooted in integrity, accountability, and genuine transformation.
“We will mobilize Nigerians across the country to rally behind a credible vision that rejects the decadence and deception represented by both the @OfficialAPCNg and their opportunistic counterparts in ADC, PDP, Labour Party and elsewhere.”
Sowore added that Nigeria does not need a rearrangement of the same broken pieces, it needs a complete break from the past.
He stated: “The Nigerian truth about these wicked recycled political class is even too simple, it is that with them, you cannot make progress. You can’t progress with people whose career is to stop your progress.
“Look at them, whether in @OfficialAPCNg, @OfficialPDPNig, @ADCNig, or @NgLabour, these are the same set of political actors, with only a few women among them, who have presided over the steady destruction of this country, Nigeria.
“They are the reason Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world. They are the reason insecurity thrives; they destroyed and personalised the armed forces, and citizens live in fear.
“They diverted funds meant for education to train their own children abroad, looted resources meant for roads and infrastructure, and used them to build their heavens on earth, and then asked you through their religious arm to look forward to your mansions in the sky.
“They allowed public hospitals to decay while securing world-class medical care for themselves and their families.
“They do not even attempt to hide it anymore. This is why real change requires a complete break from this failed political order and actors.”
