Omoyele Sowore, a presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), has urged all Nigerians to band together in anticipation of a huge national rebellion against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Sowore claimed in an X post that Tinubu was ignoring calls for an impartial election because he was losing ground in the race.
He went on to say that in an effort to ensure Tinubu’s re-election, members of the president’s inner circle were plotting to repress, intimidate, and use violence against political opponents.
The plot to eliminate any opposition to the president may include targeted killings, according to Sowore.
So, what’s the plan? “Get ready for a national uprising unlike anything this regime has ever seen!” he exclaimed.
In an effort to stop what he called “political violence” and the erosion of democratic freedoms, the presidential contender asked all Nigerians, regardless of their location, to set a date and use their democratic authority collectively.
At the end of his speech, he reiterated his earlier claims that Tinubu was not campaigning for an election but rather a revolution in Nigeria.
