Sowore denies losing 2023 Election, Labels it a “Charade”

The African Action Congress (AAC) 2023 Presidential Candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has controversially insisted that he never lost the last election.

According to the human rights activist, the election was a “charade.”

He expressed disappointment at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for holding an election he deemed illegitimate.

“Yes, it is true that I ran in the 2023 elections, thinking the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was organising an election. 

“What they eventually carried out was a charade; what I have repeatedly told the public is that it was not an election, but a selection. 

“Did I lose? Of course, not. Nigeria did not hold an election in 2023, so the idea of claiming someone lost or won is untenable. 

“I am not a cyclical partisan political entity. I do not wait for election cycles to fulfil my obligations to the Nigerian populace. I have been engaged in the race for Nigeria’s liberation since the early 1990s and have continued daily since,” Sowore said.

Sowore went on to predict that Nigerians will get tired of the government of President Bola Tinubu.

“When Nigerians are ready, they will dislodge Tinubu and his coterie of buccaneers and saboteurs anytime they want. 

“They need not wait until 2027, the Tinubu regime is choking Nigerians to death,” he said.

While describing Tinubu’s success at the election as a “heist,” Sowore refrained from rating the President’s performance so far.

“That a person is smuggled into the presidential seat as president and that simply because the heist succeeded, we must accept it is not my way of thinking. I do not believe in Tinubu’s Presidency,” Sowore held.
