Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore has blasted the Organisers of the Presidential Debates which is set to hold on the 14th of January 2019.
The Nigerian Elections Debate Group and the Broadcasting Organisations had in a statement signed by Mr. Eddi Emesiri announced the participating parties as “Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), All Progressives Congress (APC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Young Progressives Party (YPP)”.
Mr. Sowore in a rejection of the selection on his twitter handle @yelesho said “first they excluded @aacparty from the signing of Peace Agreement &Memorandum of understanding by Presidential Candidates & Party Chairmen in Abuja today, just emerged also they don’t want me to participate in the presidential debates, they claim I am out of control and may spill what I know about this oldies publicly during debates. These old guards still don’t get it!”.
He condemned the organizers for presenting to Nigerians a streamlined number of political parties thereby denying access to others as guaranteed by the Nigerian Media Code of Election Coverage which states that “the government shall abide by institutional, regulatory and legal frameworks requiring equitable access to State media by parties and candidates contesting elections”.
The code which was adopted on the 30th of October 2014 binds all media organizations including the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria.
Some Nigerians have reacted to the exclusion including #EndSars movement convener, @Segalink tweeting “they made a mistake with the listing. It would have been more interesting to have @YeleSowore included in this. There are five here and it could very well have been six. One will certainly be absent.
@Alatenumo tweeted “I expected @obyzeks and @feladurotoye and Kingsley to Speak out and ask for Yele’s inclusion. Injustice happens when men and women of goodwill stay silent”.

Stormy Daniel's has been ordered to pay trump $293,000k

I agree

Hw much is bag rice now

He shouldn't be excluded.. It is his right to sell himself and policies to Nigerians.

Rubbish country, they know he will expose them and Nigerians will probably vote for him. Channels TV buildings should be raised in flames and every other media company that’s part of this crap.

Even the media is part of the problem of this country.

And here i thought we are still running a democracy right

This marijuana president sef...

something is wrong with u

Something is wrong with your father, Buhari, Atiku tinubu, abubarkar, Babangida and Obasanjo

They are right he only has mouth and no experience.Moghalu is the best choice for a new Nigeria, but since Nigerians want second hand, then Atiku is better.

yoruba muslim. Born throway. U dont have a father

They know Sowore cannot be tamed!

This is an indication that both Fela Durotoye and Kingsley Moghalu are no threat to the APC and PDP.

Sowore has been an activist before these ones, he knows what to say to get the Nigerian youth connected.

This will be the greatest corruption ever in the Media. On what criteria do they select these candidates?

Sowore's inclusion is a MUST.

I would prefer Sowore to represent me than Fela Durotoye in a political debate.

Why must he be excluded,is he not presidential candidate,no Sowore No debate. Is an injustice to the youth.

I wont be surprised if its plan work sowore the vote splitter for apc

I like this guy but I hate him
