‘Prepare for revolution’ — Sowore calls for nationwide uprising against Tinubu

African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has urged Nigerians to brace themselves for a revolution against President Bola Tinubu, urging them to unite for a nationwide uprising before the 2027 general election. In a post on X, Sowore alleged that Tinubu was not preparing for a free and fair election due to his dwindling chances of winning.

He further accused key figures within Tinubu's inner circle of planning to use violence, intimidation, and repression to oust political opponents and secure Tinubu's re-election. Sowore also suggested that targeted assassinations could be part of the plan against anyone who opposes the President. The presidential candidate warned that the only way to counter these threats is through organization, mobilization, and preparing for a massive, unprecedented nationwide uprising.

He called on Nigerians from all regions to agree on a date and use their collective democratic power to resist political violence and the erosion of democratic freedoms. Sowore reiterated his belief that Tinubu is not preparing for an election but for a revolution.
