LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore has said Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is not the change Nigeria needs, saying he is part of the old system
Speaking on Channels Television, Sowore said Obi was part of the old system that has crippled the nation’s fortunes.
He said, “Peter Obi is part of the old system that I’ve always fought. I understand where he is coming from. It is 1999 repeated – Nigeria wants to change, some young people are genuinely interested in change, a different direction.
“And then they are presented with somebody who worked for the establishment; somebody who has been in PDP, APGA, come back to PDP, Labour Party.
“He’s not new to the rotten system. Somebody who was eight years as governor of a state. We can be emotional about it but that’s the truth. He didn’t build any schools, he didn’t build any industry, he didn’t have a power station. He’s not my kind of progressive.”
“I was the only candidate who participated in 2019 that did not stop campaigning or advocating. I engaged, immediately after that election, in a number of revolutionary activities that took me to jail.”
