Sowore adopted presidential candidate to beat the bigger parties
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Omoyele Sowore has been adopted the presidential candidate of both the African Action Congress (AAC) and a faction of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in an alliance aimed to combine forces to beat the bigger parties in the vote next month.
The parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the alliance at a townhall in Kano where PRP-Vanguard National Leader Abdulmajid Yakubu acknowledged Sowore’s effort in fighting for the masses.
He urged all members of the PRP and entire Nigerians to elect AAC candidates at federal and state levels, saying the alliance is based on the ideologies of both parties which tilt toward socialism.
“Today we are very happy to be in kano. Kano is the home of the truth for Nigeria,” Sowore said in his acceptance speech
“Kano is one of the liberal cities for development and democracy and we are happy that we are not among the politicians you know and call ‘munafik bazan’.
“The PRP from time immemorial has been a party of truth. The AAC is also a party of the truth, but we are younger than the PRP.”
He said the alliance was predicted by Balarabe Musa in 2018 in Kaduna where he invited the AAC to join the PRP.

Defeating agents of poverty and insecurity
“Our conviction is that we will defeat the elements that have brought poverty to the North, East, and South, and those that have brought insecurity to Nigeria,” Sowore added, per reporting by The PUNCH.
“They keep decamping, they pay for decamping every day but ours is an alliance and it is so strong.
“If I am elected President in 2023, poverty and insecurity will come to an end and prosperity will come to light.
“We will build a fast railway from Lagos to Kano. We will ensure that young people go to university which will not be shutdown due to non-payment of lecturers. We will make sure education is free.
“Our combination is the most powerful kinetic combination in the history of Nigeria and we will make sure we deliver the country from the hands of the buccaneers that have ruined it; those corrupt people that have made Nigeria a laughing stock and poverty headquarters of the world.”
Sowore’s running mate Haruna Magashi said: “We are here for a purpose and we have achieved it. We have signed the MoU on the alliance between the AAC and the PRP here in Kano.
“It is a national accord and with this, we have a high chance to be able to rescue Nigeria.”
