The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 general elections, Omoyele Sowore, has blamed the deaths of several political officeholders across Nigeria in 2024 on poor governance and policies implemented by the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Naijaonpoint reports that Sowore made the assertion on Wednesday during a consultative meeting between the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and political parties in Abuja.
According to Sowore, the ruling party still fails to grasp the actual situation in the country.
In a post via his Instagram page, the activist wrote. “Today, I participated in a consultative meeting between @inecnigeria Nigeria and political parties in Abuja, where an unexpected issue emerged concerning the numerous bye-elections held this year due to the deaths of over 12 political office holders across Nigeria. During my intervention, I emphasized that these premature deaths are a consequence of the @OfficialAPCNg poor governance and policies.
“Interestingly, I was seated close to the@APCNigeria Chairman, Gandollar, and their party secretary, ex-Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, @DrSRJ_ (a former ‘comrade’ of ours at UNILAG/NANS. ) Their responses were quite revealing, as they appeared amused by this correlation. In fact, @DrSRJ_ was screaming from his seat, Sowore you’ve come again! They don’t still get it!”
