2027: Sowore Rejects Opposition Coalition, Says He Won’t Join "Thieves to Fight Thieves"


Omoyele Sowore, human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has dismissed any suggestion of joining the opposition coalition working to unseat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

In a strongly worded statement on Tuesday, Sowore said he would not associate with politicians he blames for Nigeria’s decline, citing corruption, betrayal, and power abuse. “I didn’t partner with Bola Ahmed Tinubu in drug trafficking in Chicago,” he said. “I wasn’t involved with Atiku Abubakar in the looting of Customs. Nor did I join David Mark in squandering funds meant for fixing our telecom system or crushing the June 12 democratic struggle.”

He went on to name several political figures—including Abubakar Malami, Nasir El-Rufai, and Peter Obi—whom he accused of playing roles in human rights violations, religious violence, and collaboration with oppressive regimes.

Sowore firmly rejected appeals to compromise his principles for political unity. “I have never joined a robbery gang or pledged loyalty to any cult, regardless of its popularity or influence. My allegiance is only to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the betrayed.”

He stressed his continued commitment to his #RevolutionNow movement, calling for a true coalition of justice and truth to free Nigeria from its current leaders. “Let it be known: I stand with a vanguard of justice. Nigeria must be rescued from these wrongdoers.”

Sowore’s remarks came amid growing pressure from civil society and opposition leaders urging him to join forces with other political actors. One notable appeal came from activist Deji Adeyanju, who in an open letter urged Sowore to reconsider his stance and join the coalition for the sake of national progress.

“Politics isn’t the same as activism or morality—it’s about numbers,” Adeyanju wrote, suggesting Sowore's involvement could galvanize broader support to oust the APC in 2027.

Labour Party Lawmakers as an Appendage to APC Majority Lawmakers: A Huge Question Mark on Peter Obi’s Leadership

Image
  The Labour Party (LP) made an unprecedented impact in the 2023 general elections, largely due to the influence of Mr Peter Obi and the Obidient movement. Before then, it was almost unthinkable for a third-force party to achieve significant electoral success in Nigeria. However, against all odds, the LP secured eight senatorial seats and 34 seats in the House of Representatives as of March 7, 2023. Among those elected were individuals from humble backgrounds, including a former commercial motorcyclist and a motor park loading agent, further reinforcing the movement’s appeal to ordinary Nigerians. Labour Party’s Crisis and the Loss of Legislative Influence To the disappointment of many supporters, the Labour Party is currently experiencing severe internal disarray. At least one senator and five members of the House of Representatives have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Even more concerning is that the remaining LP lawmakers in the National Assembly appear ...

The event, which was packed with fans, celebrities, and well-wishers, was more than just a celebration of another year; it was a heartfelt tribute to his roots, his supporters, and a dear friend he lost.

The entire venue fell silent as he led a minute of silence for his late friend, Ifeanyi Ubah . The bond they shared was well known, and this moment was a reflection of how much he still carried the weight of the loss. Owerri: The City of His Beginnings As the night moved forward,...

Forbidden Flames.... Torchlight for Twilight.

By Ogbu A.M. The traffic buzzed outside their Lekki apartment as Emeka sat quietly in the living room, his eyes fixed on his phone, though his mind was miles away. Lagos had a way of wearing people out—but nothing had worn him down like what he’d just learned. His best friend, Charles, had dropped the bomb casually while they shared beers at a bar in Victoria Island. "Guy, I no dey try cause wahala, but I think say you suppose know wetin your wife dey do. Ngozi talk say Chioma dey knack her oga for office. That Ndubisi guy." It had hit Emeka like a slap. For days, he pretended he hadn’t heard it. But now, as he watched Chioma humming in the kitchen, moving gracefully like nothing was wrong, he knew Charles wasn’t lying. Her phone was always face-down. Late meetings. A new perfume. The soft smile she had when she texted someone she wouldn’t name. And then there was Ngozi—Chioma’s younger sister. She had moved in temporarily while job-hunting, according to Chioma. Young, v...
