Sowore stated this in Kano State on Monday where the AAC and the People’s Redemption Party, PRP, sealed their alliance at the Malam Aminu Kano House.
The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has vowed to deliver Nigeria from the decades of misrule of the oppressors adding that his administration would tackle “all the problems that the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party and their affiliates have brought to Nigeria.”
Sowore stated this in Kano State on Monday where the AAC and the People’s Redemption Party, PRP, sealed their alliance at the Malam Aminu Kano House.
The town hall meeting which saw massive participation of the people of Kano had in attendance, states' and national leadership of the Abdulmajid Yakubu led PRP – Vanguard.
Also at the town hall were the Kano governorship candidate of the AAC, Sanni Yankasai, and the national leadership of the AAC led Sowore.
In a speech delivered on behalf of the PRP by its national chairman, Mr. Abdulmajid Yakubu, he acknowledged Omoyele Sowore’s efforts in fighting for the people of Nigeria including the #EndSARS where he took a lead role, while also securing the release of scores of young people arrested in the course of the massive youth uprising.
Yakubu urged all members of the PRP and the entire people of Nigeria to come out in their numbers to elect the AAC's candidates, Omoyele Sowore as President, and Sanni Yankasai as the Kano state governor.
The Northwest coordinator of the PRP said the alliance was possible based on both party’s ideologies that tilted towards socialism.
Delivering his speech, Sowore said, “Today we are very happy to be in Kano. Kano is the home of the truth for Nigeria. 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’. PRP from time immemorial has been a party of truth. AAC is also a party of truth, but we are younger than PRP.”
He said the alliance that happened was prophesied by Alhaji Balarabe Musa in 2018 in Kaduna State where he had invited them to come and join the PRP.
“Our conviction is that we will defeat the elements that have brought poverty to the north, east and south, insecurity and all the problems that the APC, PDP and their affiliates have brought to Nigeria,” Sowore noted.
The AAC candidate said he was very proud that within the shortest time, the country witnessed an alliance it never witnessed before.
“They keep decamping, they pay for decamping everyday but ours is an alliance and it is so strong. We will build a fast railway from Lagos to Kano. We will ensure that young people go to university which will not be shut down due to nonpayment of staff. 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 Nigeria from the hands of the buccaneers that have ruined Nigeria. Those corrupt people that have made Nigeria a laughing stock and poverty headquarters of the world.
A major highlight of the event was when both parties signed a memorandum of understanding for the alliance after which Sowore was officially announced as the presidential candidate of the historical alliance between both left leaning parties.
One of the stakeholders in an interview with newsmen, said “It is fantastic; this is a history in Nigeria. The beginning of the end of exploiters, those who stole our money and left us in poverty.”
Speaking further, the Vice Presidential candidate of the AAC/PRP alliance, Barrister Haruna Magashi, said, “We are here for a purpose and we have achieved it. We have signed the memorandum of understanding on the alliance between AAC and PRP here in Kano. It is a national accord and with this, we have a high chance to be able to rescue Nigeria.”
Another member of the PRP leadership, an honourable, said “We are here today for this business to take back Nigeria. And the best thing that has happened recently in the political realm is this alliance.
“We have signed life, prosperity, security and a sound economy. We are now supporting these young men (Sowore/Magashi) to take back what belongs to us,” the honorable added.
Speaking with press, Sowore said, “It is a historical day for the Nigerian people. This is an alliance of the oppressed – the alliance of the most ideological parties to have roamed the surface of the Nigerian political space. We are proud to be part of it and we believe we will deliver real victory and justice to Nigeria of our dream. It is a pleasure that this is happening, thank you.”
