  "summary": "African Action Congress presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has called on former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi to apologise for a heated exchange that took place at the Nigerian Bar Association’s Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt. Sowore argued that Amaechi benefited from the democracy he fought to establish in Nigeria, and that his political career would not have been possible under military rule. Sowore emphasized that leadership is about vision, mission, and the ability to bring people together to achieve results, and rejected the notion that a presidency candidate must first have experience in governance.",
