Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) has said the various secessionist movements are not the answer to the challenges facing Nigeria. Sowore, who made this known during an interview session with the BBC Yoruba, explained that what Nigeria needed is good leadership to tackle major socio-economic problems confronting the country.
Division Of Nigeria Not Solution; Bad Leaders Will Still Destroy Yoruba Nation, Other Breakaway Regions — AAC Presidential Candidate, SoworeOmoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress has said the various secessionist movements are not the answer to the challenges facing Nigeria.
Speaking in Yoruba, the AAC candidate said, “I am not saying those that will divide should not do what they want; because Nigeria’s issue is now like if you can’t move it forward, take it back to where you took it. This is why most people say we should make it better or restructure it. But what we are saying is that even if Nigeria is divided into small countries, like the Yoruba Nation, do you have good leaders? So if we have good leaders in Nigeria, nobody will want the country to divide.
In response to a question about the motivation behind his presidential candidacy, Sowore stated that his goal was to tackle Nigeria's problems. “When we started politics, we met with the people and they sponsored us in 2019. Ours is to show them that if we get elected, we won’t collect money from them or spend public money without explanation. One of the reasons Nigeria is not moving forward is because most leaders do not see that people have their rights to know how they spend. Public funds are not for politicians.”
