Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has explained why he declined participation in the recent opposition summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State.
In a statement posted on his X handle on Sunday, Sowore alleged that the initiative was an attempt to recycle failed political actors, arguing that those behind the summit lacked the credibility to present a genuine alternative to Nigerians.
Sowore further stated that his party, the African Action Congress (AAC), would not participate in what he described as a “charade” aimed at repackaging old political figures.
He also criticised major political parties, including the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party, and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing them as part of Nigeria’s political problem.
