2027: Babachir Considers Voting for Sowore, Rules Out APC, ADC, NDC

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has said he may consider voting for activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore in the 2027 general election, while ruling out support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and National Democratic Coalition (NDC). Speaking to journalists, the former SGF expressed growing dissatisfaction with the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, suggesting that the government has not delivered on key promises. He questioned Tinubu's leadership, asking rhetorically, "So you valued being VP this much?" in reference to the presidency's perceived betrayal of promises made during the campaign. Lawal's consideration of Sowore comes after the activist was officially confirmed as the African Action Congress (AAC) candidate for the 2027 presidential election. Sowore has promised a new direction for Nigeria, promising to change the APC's rule […]

Coalition condemns Sowore, backs Umahi on debt dispute

A coalition of civil society organisations has criticised activist Omoyele Sowore over his recent public confrontation with Minister of Works David Umahi, describing it as mere theatrics. The group defended Umahi over allegations by Tracy Ohiri, who claims the minister owes her money for campaign materials and used the police to intimidate her. Members of the coalition said Sowore’s viral engagement with Umahi on the issue was a calculated attempt to dramatise an ongoing legal matter and mislead the public.​​ They argued that Sowore’s style of activism focuses on spectacle rather than facts and due process and urged Nigerians to be cautious about drawing conclusions from social media clips.​​ The coalition maintained that the police acted on a formal petition and within their constitutional powers, not on the instructions of Umahi for any personal vendetta. They also claimed that Ohiri’s […]

Sowore condemns US airstrikes on Nigerian soil

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has strongly criticised the recent United States military strikes on Nigerian soil. He described the attacks as a violation of Nigeria’s sovereignty and a dangerous step for the country.​ Sowore argued that no foreign country has the right to launch military operations inside Nigeria under any guise. He said allowing such actions sends a signal that Nigeria cannot protect itself and is willing to hand over its security to external powers.​ He also faulted the Nigerian government for what he called weakness and complicity. According to him, the authorities should have openly rejected the US airstrikes instead of agreeing to or tolerating them.​ Sowore warned that foreign military involvement rarely solves internal security problems. He pointed to past US interventions in countries like Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan, saying they often left […]
