In a statement posted on his verified X account, Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has rejected the plans initiated by Professor Pat Utomi to form a single-candidate coalition for the 2027 general elections. Utomi's political commission aims to hold closed-door meetings with shortlisted opposition candidates and their party leaders to forge a united opposition for the elections.
Sowore emphasized that the AAC represents a distinct political and ideological approach, driven by revolutionary principles and not by political expediency or desperation for power. He underscored that the AAC cannot join a coalition with the political establishment it has consistently criticized, pointing out that many politicians now claiming to offer an alternative have previously operated within the same political landscape under different parties like APC, PDP, and the Labour Party.
Sowore reiterated the party's unwavering commitment to a different path for Nigeria, advocating for social and economic justice, equal rights, accountable governance, and the redistribution of power to the people. He stressed that the AAC will not compromise its principled agenda for a coalition whose primary goal is merely to replace one group of establishment politicians with another.
