The African Action Congress (AAC) has requested the use of the Presidential Villa, also known as Aso Rock, for its campaign council inauguration ahead of the 2027 general elections. This request was made because the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has been using the venue for its own political events. Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the AAC, made this statement at an Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria event on Thursday.
He emphasized that opposition parties should have the same opportunity to utilize the facility as the APC.
Sowore's request was based on principles of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness, and equal treatment of all political parties. The AAC also requested food, drinks, and logistical support for the participants of the event, which is scheduled for November 11, 2026. The request drew criticism from the APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, who questioned the AAC's electoral strength and dismissed the proposed opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
Sowore maintained that the request was about equal access to the facility and dismissed the coalition proposal.
