‘Prepare for revolution’ — Sowore calls for nationwide uprising against Tinubu
AAC Presidential Candidate Calls for Nationwide Uprising Ahead of 2027 Elections
Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), has urged Nigerians to prepare for what he describes as a revolution against President Bola Tinubu. In a recent post on X, Sowore called for citizens to unite in a widespread uprising leading up to the 2027 general elections.
Sowore alleged that President Tinubu is not poised for a free and fair electoral process, suggesting that the likelihood of his victory is diminishing. He claimed that some members of Tinubu’s inner circle may resort to violence, intimidation, and repression as tactics to maintain power and facilitate the President’s re-election.
Additionally, Sowore raised concerns over the potential for targeted assassinations to silence political opponents who challenge Tinubu’s authority.
In his message, he emphasized the need for Nigerians to organize and mobilize, stating, “We must prepare for a massive, nationwide uprising unlike anything this regime has ever witnessed.” He called on citizens from all regions—North, South, East, and West—to unify and assert their democratic rights against political violence and the erosion of democratic freedoms.
Sowore reiterated his belief that President Tinubu is not preparing for a legitimate election and stressed the necessity for Nigerians to be ready for a revolutionary response.
