Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has berated the candidature of President Muhammadu Buahri and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, stating that the choice between Buhari and Atiku is one "between failed participants in Nigeria’s democratic history".

He made the statement while addressing Nigerians in the Diaspora at a town hall meeting and fundraiser organised by the #TakeItBack Movement at the Christ International Community Church, Columbus, Ohio.

In his address, Sowore warned the public to be cautious of fake promises and documents which will be used by some candidates to deceive unsuspecting Nigerian.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had announced that campaigns for presidential and National Assembly elections would begin on Sunday, November 18, 2018.
Noting that Nigerians deserve better leaders, Sowore said: “They did an event and launched what they called 'Next Level', but Nigerians are very creative people who can see through all that. They have already done a lot of cartoons which show President Buhari blindfolded and his followers following him over a cliff and they said that is the 'Next Level'. They said the same thing about Atiku with a cartoon, where everyone following him were holding onto their wallets; you know what that means.

“Those who are positioning themselves to lead Nigerians today, are the same people who caused Nigerians pains and sorrow that Nigeria is in today."

Using Biblical analogy, he added that “we have a Barabbas situation on our hands, where there is a young man who did what is right for 19 years and there are two old men who did what is wrong for their entire lives, and people are asked to choose and some of our people are saying they want Barabbas. They do not want a leader who can take Nigeria to glory. They want one of the thieves, but this is not the situation with all of our people.

“Nigerians want a better option; they want someone who can take Nigeria and make it climb out of poverty, hopelessness, and economic and political depression over this years.”

Sowore called on Nigerians to “do the right thing by freeing yourselves of your oppressors who have no fresh ideas or capacity to solve Nigeria's problem which they created".

Those who have conscience will vote for SOWORE. HE'S THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB. Let's make the right choice for the first ttime! Take Nigeria back Now!!

I'll rather go with Durotoye than this arrogant and rude dude.

Wetin concern me....as for me and my family na buhari own we dey do

Monimatic:
The Atiku's plan is God's Plan

^^^ Bloody Liar. How the plan of a Criminal and a verified looter be God's plan. This is the kind heretic comments the atikulooters are deploying to sell their evil agenda.

Let's begin to call a spade a spade. Sowore is a revolutionary and he is blunt. No apology. We must start changing our notion about some things. Respect is not when you stay humble in addressing someone who is destroying your country just because he is an older person. Respect and humility is seeing everyone as equal to you and loving the masses- which I'm sure Sowore has displayed overtime. Must we be apologetic and diplomatic in describing our bad politicians and their evil?
Nigerian has not gotten so much to that stage, but I think we ought to know better as educated persons. Sowore has always being civil enough.
If you say you are not voting for Sowore, a pro masses, just because "he has a loose mouth" and very blunt but you can vote for an oppressive element just because he knows how to cajole you with sweet mouth, I'm afraid this country may never be any better.
Can we start embracing ideas, mindset and progress ahead of this culture façade that hasn't gotten us anywhere?

Especially Atiku that is coming to make Nigeria paradise for thieves.

When you speak the truth about a certain matter does not make you arrogant.

Especially when those who should also be saying the truth will rather keep quite and rather tag along with what is bad.

Yes Sowore might be blunt in the way he speaks the truth, but the truth is what he says about Nigeria and the Criminals who distroyed the country and rob us of a better future is not a lie.

Speaking the truth does not make you arrogant.

If it was a lie then Nigeria will not be the way it is now.

I have a lot of respect for Fela and I have had some personal relationship with him in the past and I know he also means well for nigeria the same way sowore does, but I will be honest with you that Nigeira needs a STRONG HAND to deal with the terrible way things are done in the country at the moment.

Sowore has been fighting this guys a 1 person now imagine what he can do as the President of the nation.
