Omoyele
Sowore is one of the new breed of politicians hoping to become president in
2019. Presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has taken a stab at former
president, Olusegun Obasanjo, for his public endorsement of his former vice
president, Atiku Abubakar, who’s also contesting in the 2019 presidential
election.
Atiku
was elected the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
at the party’s national convention in Port Harcourt on October 7, 2018, and was
publicly endorsed days later by Obasanjo who had previously been one of the
most vocal opponents of his long-standing presidential ambition.
According
to Sowore, who’s contesting for the position of president on the platform of
the African Action Congress (AAC), Obasanjo’s sensational u-turn over Atiku’s
suitability for the presidency proves that he’s dishonest and unpatriotic.
He
said this while addressing the public at a summit, “African Leadership In The
Millenium”, a part of Felabration 2018, in Lagos State on Monday, October 15,
2018.

Sowore
narrated to the public how Atiku had failed to gain the endorsement of Nobel
Laureate, Wole Soyinka, and how he had to run to Obasanjo afterwards.
He
said, “They (Atiku and his campaign team) had to leave Soyinka with their tails
in-between their legs. “Of course, the moment they saw that Soyinka could not
be fooled, they went to that man in Ota who’s always speaking from both sides
of his mouth – a dishonest, unpatriotic, inhuman Obasanjo.
“The usual unpatriotic, inhuman and wicked
Obasanjo invited Atiku to his house and told us that he has now forgiven Atiku.
The same Atiku he claimed that God will not pardon him if he ever recommended him
to be president of Nigeria.
“He
recommended him again to go and destroy Nigeria. If it is true that there’s God
and God doesn’t punish Obasanjo this time, so many of us will stop going to
church.”
Buhari
is a useless man – Sowore
Sowore
further took a stab at one of his biggest opponents at next year’s polls,
President Muhammadu Buhari, noting that history has been kind to the people
that destroyed Nigeria.
He
said Nigeria has no future if any of 75-year-old Buhari or 72-year-old Atiku is
allowed to emerge victorious in the 2019 presidential election.
He
said, “Sometimes, we don’t celebrate our own. We don’t celebrate the
contributions that we’ve made at different times in this country. And that’s
why I think they don’t teach history anymore. Because if we had history in our
curriculum, somebody would have taught our children that Obasanjo is a bad
person, that Babangida is a thief, that Atiku was a Customs officer who made it
by stealing, that Buhari is a useless man. We didn’t need Donald Trump to tell
us Buhari is lifeless.
“But
here we are in 2018, there is a debate about who to choose between the worst and
the baddest. And we’re all here still romanticising about what Nigeria should
be in the future.

“Let
me tell you, Nigeria has no future with these guys. It’s the truth. We have no
future because people who destroyed your past cannot guarantee you any future.”
We
need revolution in 2019 – Sowore
Sowore
said Nigerians cannot hope to simply have power voluntarily transferred from
one generation to another and must fight for it through a deliberate
revolution.
He
pointed out that the system is rigged to keep the old establishment in power
and that Nigerians must resist it so as to actualise the country of their
dreams and not the one of their ineffective leaders.

HAS PICKED A WRONG CUSTOMER – FAYOSE’S AIDE
He
said, “The country you’re seeing today is the country of their dreams. The
country without roads, hospitals and schools. It’s the country of the dreams of
the Babangidas, the Obasanjos, the Abubakars and the Buharis of this world.
“The
solution is a revolution. We’re not going anywhere without adding the
revolutionary fervour to this coming election.
“Anyone
under the illusion that the plastic cards that we refer to as permanent voter’s
card (PVC) will guarantee you a transfers of power from one generation to another,
you’re wasting your time.
“Of
course a few of you might vote, but your votes will not count because it’s been
designed to fail from the beginning.”
The
2019 presidential election, scheduled for February 16, 2019, is expected to be
keenly-contested between Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and
Atiku who served as vice president between 1999 and 2007 and lost in the 2007
presidential election.
