In 2027, the presidential hopeful for the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, criticized Nigerian politicians for relying on godfathers, wealthy backers, and established political parties to advance their careers. The AAC leader defended his party, stating it was built through the dedication, sacrifice, and support of ordinary Nigerians.
Sowore questioned why politicians who claim the ability to win elections switch between parties during elections, instead of creating their own movements. He also rebuked politicians who attempt to lure their supporters from the parties they have built to join other factions. Sowore urged politicians to demonstrate the popularity of their ideas and platforms by organizing and mobilizing Nigerians without relying on wealthy patrons or pre-existing political structures.
"If their ideas are compelling, they should organize. If their platforms are popular, they should mobilize. If their politics is powerful, they should build," Sowore emphasized. He reiterated that the AAC was constructed through the efforts and sacrifices of its members and supporters, not to serve the personal ambitions of affluent political figures. "We built ours with our sweat and blood. Let them build theirs," he concluded.
