The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has called on Nigerians to prepare for a revolution against President Bola Tinubu, urging citizens across the country to unite for a massive nationwide uprising ahead of the 2027 general election.
Sowore, in a post on X, alleged that Tinubu was not preparing for a free and fair election because his chances of securing victory were becoming increasingly difficult.
He further claimed that people within the President’s inner circle were preparing to unleash violence, intimidation and repression against political opponents in an attempt to secure Tinubu’s re-election.
Sowore also alleged that targeted assassinations could be part of the plan against anyone standing in the President’s way.
“What must we do? Organize, mobilize, and prepare for a massive, nationwide uprising unlike anything this regime has ever witnessed!” he wrote.
The presidential candidate urged Nigerians across the North, South, East and West to agree on a date and exercise their collective democratic power against what he described as political violence and the destruction of democratic freedoms.
He concluded by restating his position that Tinubu was not preparing for an election, but that Nigerians must prepare for a revolution.
