The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has faulted some Nigerians’ judgment in the selection of leaders for the country.
Sowore stated this in a video he shared on his verified Twitter handle in reaction to the direction in which Nigerians voted on Saturday despite the harrowing socio-economic challenges the President Muhammadu Buhari government created in the country.
He said, “I am 52 years old on the 16th of February, and you are saying I should go to local government, you want an 80 years man who needs assistance to stand up to be president of Nigeria. When things fall apart, you are looking for Sowore after the election to come and help you fix the country.
“You need Sowore to fight but you don’t need Sowore to lead so that the country will not have to go through the kind of experience we are going through. We are in the middle of a major crisis in the monetary department of our economic system. We have no fuel. The people who caused it; you want them to continue in leadership. The people who want to solve the problem, you said they should go to the local government.”
