A Perspective: Presidential Aspirant Omoyele Sowore's Town Hall Meetings by gididreams

The mood, the air, the ambiance or what you decide to call it, is certainly abuzz in Nigeria, as events heat up in time for the National Elections on 16 February 2019. Notably, these elections are like no other in that there are more young entries into the political sphere vying for the top position. One of such persons is Omoyele Sowore, CEO of Sahara Reporters, who comes with antecedents of student activism, as well as journalistic activism.

If like me you have been following his progress towards the elections, there is no doubt that you are amazed at his energy, tenacity and daring ambition. I call it DARING because he has no godfathers or godmothers, he is not the son of a politician, nor is he the protege of a minister, neither is he an Oil & Gas businessman - so, where will he get the means to fund such a significant election? Afterall, we were informed by the Media yesterday that the present government will be spending N242. Billion for their 2019 re-election campaign. What some might consider a deficiency in that Sowore does not have the financial means, he has to his ADVANTAGE, as part of his armory, STRATEGIES, IDEAS and very many volunteers that are DETERMINED to take our country back!

Note: The monies needed to run Sowore's campaign is being raised internationally on 'GO FUND ME' (here's the link https://uk.gofundme.com/sowore2019) and in Nigeria (contributions are made into Zenith Bank Account Number: 1006023871). These funds are being raised transparently using these mediums.

As far as I have observed, there have been no other aspirants that have conducted more Town Hall Meetings, TV Interviews, Radio Interviews etc. as compared to Sowore. In fact, last time I counted, which was circa 2 months ago, Sowore had carried out over 100 Meetings/Interviews. I mean, how many politicians commit themselves in that way? Very few do and the reason is that they do not want to get caught out - it is increasingly difficult to lie and say you did not say you would deliver on a promise if there is no evidence to hold you accountable. This should convince you about Sowore's honest intentions, as each time he has these Meetings/Interviews, he is committing and re-committing himself to his promises! Consequentially, he is indicting himself! I will go a step farther to suggest that he is either on the other side of crazy or clearly he is CONFIDENT that he knows how to set Nigeria on the path to Peace, Progress and Prosperity aka GREATNESS!

I have read many people's reservations or hesitations about Sowore's suitability and they go like this: 'he should start at councillor or local chairman level' or 'what does he know about governance?' or 'does he think that running a website is the same as running a country?' or most recently 'Sowo gini?'. I know that these people have clearly not listened to Sowore, so they ask these questions without knowing that he has well-articulated plans and structures of how to move the country forward.


For me, there are three MAJOR reasons why I have given Sowore my support and I am doing all that is in my power to see him elected into Office. They are:

Firstly, Nigerians would have voted in someone with ideas.

Secondly, we the Nigerian people that have donated funds via 'Go Fund Me' or 'Zenith Bank' are the MAJOR stakeholders, which means Sowore is answerable to us!

And thirdly, this is the most important, is that the Nigerian people will truly understand the power of their vote - POWER is returned back to the people. This would mean that anyone going for Public Office in the future would realise that they can be voted in and voted out! This means that if a Public Servant performs well, the people will re-elect him/her back into Office and if he/she fails to perform, they will be voted out to return back what they were doing before they ran for Office. That my friends is how democracies work.


Please abandon, imprison and neglect your doubts. We can do this, we can upset the political space by voting out the cabals and overhauling the current political system. Together we can do this! We can have a Nigeria where our VOTE COUNTS!!!

Below are some of the Town Hall Meetings that Sowore has conducted. I believe that Sowore wants to be remembered for greatness in history, so long after he is gone, world history books will remember him as one who dared, was audacious enough, one who inspired and one who orchestrated changes in Nigeria, as an environment that enables people to succeed. On the other hand, our history books will not be so kind to those who used and abused Nigeria for self-aggrandisement.
