Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, has boasted that he is still standing among the various contenders who ran for president in the 2019 elections.
Sowore stated that he was still standing because he never ceased talking to Nigerians about the concerns of governance, policy, and the economy that he had previously raised.
The AAC standard bearer said on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme on Friday night that there were a lot of big parties in Nigeria that did not bring the right values to Nigeria and had faded away, adding that his party, the AAC, was a party ready to pull Nigerians out of poverty and misery.
“While there are several big-for-nothing parties in Nigeria, ours is a contact party dedicated to lifting Nigerians out of poverty and despair.” “I don’t assess huge parties based on their numbers; I consider them based on the relevance, importance, and value that they provide to the country,” Sowore explained.
“We used to have big parties in this country who boasted that they would be around for 60 years, and overnight they were defeated.
“I don’t want conversations to surround the mathematics of size but it should be the mathematics of relevance and contents.
“Our party was founded in August 2018, when 29 other parties were launched.” You’ve probably never heard of any of them. There were several presidential contenders in 2018 and 2019. “I’m probably the only one left today because I never stopped doing what I’ve always said Nigerians – that the causes are more important than the people in these parties and the money they have,” said the human rights activist and founder of Sahara Reporters.
