Sowore’s party, one other form alliance for 2023 presidency

The African Action Congress (AAC) and a faction of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) have announced an alliance for the purpose of the 2023 presidential election.

The National Chairman of the AAC who also doubles as the party’s presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore announced this during a press conference on Monday in Abuja to reveal the alliance between his party and the PRP.

Sowore also shared images and videos of the alliance on his Twitter handle.

Speaking during the press conference, the AAC candidate said the motive behind the alliance is to liberate Nigerians from the “shackles of corrupt and greedy politicians who have held the country hostage for several years.”

He said with the alliance, AAC and PRP are set to end injustice, oppression, insecurity, bad governance, and corruption in the country.

According to Sowore, “Today (Monday), these two political parties, the oldest revolutionary party – the PRP and youngest party – the AAC in the country are forming an alliance to overthrow and take down evil system of oppression in Nigeria.

“The AAC was the first political party founded by young people. I mean radical elements in Nigeria. It is the first political party in recent history that called for a revolution in Nigeria and carried out that master plan in about thirty (30) cities in 2019.”

Sowore boasted that the faction with which he was forming an alliance is the authentic faction of the PRP.

“So the same thing that happened to the PRP also happened to us. At one point, the PRP was hijacked by reactionary elements. Also in 2019, the AAC was hijacked by reactionary elements. We are forming an alliance with the original, authentic and undiluted PRP today,” he maintained.

Speaking further, Sowore said there was no difference between the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), as they are all offshoots of “frustrated politicians who defected from the PDP.”

On his own part, the factional National Chairman of the PRP, Abdulmajid Daudu said the two parties share similar ideologies and ambitions.

He called on other left-oriented parties to join them in the task of saving Nigeria in 2023 as no messiah is coming to save the country.

Daudu argued that the same set of people whom he described as criminals have been ruling Nigeria for about twenty years but it is time for a revolution to take over power through the polls.

He said, “We are both left-oriented political parties. We believe that fundamental human rights of Nigerians must be respected in line with the Constitution.
