The former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 and 2023, Omoyele Sowore said would  not accept to work with President Bola Tinubu because his government does not accommodate ideas.

Sowore stated this i n an interview on the “MIC ON For The Independent Mind Podcast” with Seun Okinbaloye.

According to him, Sowore, Tinubu’s government didn’t have the “bandwidth to accommodate our ideas.”

Sowore dismissed forming alliances with the same political parties that aimed to “steal and rob the Nigerian people of their commonwealth”. 

He faulted the APC for being an alliance of disgruntled PDP members who came together to form the party. 

Sowore said, “The APC became an alliance of disgruntled PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) people – the Sarakis (referring to former Governor of Kwara State and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki) of this world;

“…Amaechis (Rotimi Amaechi – former Minister of Transportation and former governor, Rivers State) of this world, all of them came together and formed the APC; alliances that are aimed at stealing and robbing the Nigerian people of their commonwealth”.

Asked if he would consider working with the present administration, Sowore said, “No, they don’t have the bandwidth to accommodate our ideas.”

“You think that the DNAs of the new group in alliance or the mega party will change because Peter Obi has new followers? Was he able to change it when he was in PDP?

“Did he change it when he was in APGA (All Progressives Grand Alliance)? Why are you lying to yourselves?” he said.

Sowore added that the only two people that rejected the SUVs that the National Assembly procured and shared to the members of the House across party lines were “some northern kids”.

He said one of them was Mohammed Bello El-Rufai the son of the former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
