Omoyele Sowore, the 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, has revealed that former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, would not have reached his current positions without Sowore's struggle for democracy. This assertion came during a live interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, following a debate with Amaechi at the Nigeria Bar Association’s Conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
In the debate, Amaechi allegedly told Sowore to remain silent while politicians were speaking. Responding to this, Sowore stated, "If I did not fight for democracy, Rotimi Amaechi would never have been governor or minister." He further claimed that Amaechi benefited from his relentless fight for democracy. After the NBA event, Sowore requested an apology from Amaechi, but Amaechi declined.
Sowore emphasized that everyone in the country was present for a purpose, with their experiences derived from their beliefs. He added, "What’s your passion? What’s your goal in life? Mine was to bring about good governance and to establish democracy."
