Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has secured the 2027 presidential ticket of the African Action Congress (AAC).
Following this, he has resigned his position as the party’s National Chairman with Samuel Ajeigbe appointed as the new National Chairman of the party.
“Omoyele Sowore has officially stepped down as the National Chairman of the African Action Congress.
“The party hereby welcomes Samuel Ajeigbe as the new National Chairman of our great party,” the statement read.
Speaking after accepting the nomination, Sowore said the AAC was founded to build a “new Nigeria” free from corruption, insecurity, and poor governance.
He commended party members for remaining committed despite political pressure and economic hardship in the country.
Sowore also criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress, accusing it of incompetence and attempting to manipulate public perception ahead of the 2027 elections.
During his speech at the primaries, he dismissed claims that over 10 million APC members participated in President Bola Tinubu’s presidential primary.
“There is no way APC can have 10 million people as members.
“I can guarantee you that APC cannot boast of 10,000 members,” Sowore said
