The ACC presidential candidate accused Peter Obi of being part of the old system that has crippled the country.
“Peter Obi is part of the old system that I’ve always fought. I understand where he is coming from. It is 1999 repeated – Nigeria wants to change, some young people are genuinely interested in change, a different direction.
“And then they are presented with somebody who worked for the establishment; somebody who has been in PDP, APGA, come back to PDP, Labour Party.
“He’s not new to the rotten system. Somebody who was eight years as Governor of a state. We can be emotional about it but that’s the truth.
“He didn’t build any schools, he didn’t build any industry, he didn’t have a power station. He’s not my kind of progressive,” he said.
Sowore, who also contested the presidential seat in 2019 but scored a paltry 33,000 votes, noted that he is better prepared to win the seat in 2023.
“I was the only candidate who participated in 2019 that did not stop campaigning or advocating,” he said. I engaged, immediately after that election, in a number of revolutionary activities that took me to jail.”
