Sahara reporters boss and one of the presidential hopefuls in the upcoming election in Nigeria, Omoyele Sowore has reiterated his stand in making sure minimum wage becomes N100,000.

Speaking at a conference in Lugbe, Abuja, the federal capital on Wednesday August 15, the presidential hopeful made the remark while answering questions from journalists, explaining the motivation behind his vigorous pursuit of the highest office in the country.
This also came on the occasion of the formal public announcement of the political party he would vie for presidency in the 2019 presidential elections.

Declaring his readiness under the flagship of one of the newly registered 23 political parties by INEC, Sowore made it plain that he is convinced that his ambition would be realized on the platform of the African Action Congress (AAC). According to him, the party has the emblem of two hands and in Sowore’s words “ without the hands, you can neither hold the umbrella nor the broom. The two hands will hold the umbrella and the broom and throw them away.”

Revealing the party name and the reason behind its choice, the presidential aspirant spoke passionately about the various plans the party has in store for Nigerians stressing that launching the party was the day the Nigerian youths had impatiently waited for.
“The very day we have all being waiting for has come. Today is the day the revolution we have been asking for will start in Nigeria. I have been saying for a long time that the day we launch our party will become the expiration day for the APC and PDP.” He began.

“What has happened today is a culmination of serious works and mobilizations. He continued. “Everybody in Nigeria had expected I would join one of the existing political parties but we decided that our kind of agenda; our programs and gigantic plans for Nigeria, cannot be accommodated within the existing political structure and we decided to launch our own political party.

Today, we have the party that is known as the African Action Congress (AAC). The reason for choosing Africa is strategic. We are looking beyond Nigeria immediately because for every ten Africans you see, five to seven of them are Nigerians”.

While reading out the party manifestoes, Sowore avowed clearly that the AAC has an unwavering vision to execute projects that would cover electricity reform, teaching and general overhauling of the health sector, among others, all providing an empowering environment for massive job opportunities totaling five million for Nigerians with a sizeable minimum wage.

“We have for you a fantastic minimum wage” he announced to a large cheering crowd of party faithfuls. “Hundred Thousand Naira is what we plan to provide for Federal Civil Servants in the country and for Youth Corps members (NYSC), we have planned to pay the same amount. Every Youth Corps member would get the same amount as government worker.”

In addition, he stressed that the party agenda targeted at changing Nigeria fundamentally, and by extension change the continent of Africa for good and unite all Africans on the continent so they can live the kind of life that they deserve.

“A life of abundance in security, in power, in infrastructure, a life without corrupt old cargoes who have destroyed our educational system, health system and infrastructure. A life that has economy that works for all that provides jobs for young people, a life of opportunities so that the child of nobody can become somebody in Nigeria,” he concluded.

Bloody Desperado!






Your declaration as piggies president is sure after 2019 elections.

Yinmu

Chai..but them no too know you

Start with your staff..let's see how far you can go with it

I had to scroll down to verify the source of this news.

If Sowore actually said this, he is not fit to lead Nigeria.

I'm expecting him to tell us what plan he has to develop the economy and not manifestoes like this.

Words like this hasn't made him different from the semiliterates that have been leading us.

I look forward to the day when politicians in Nigeria will start facing the realities of sticking to one and only one campaign promise .

This is HIGHLY interesting.....

What a good and sweet news!

This one clearly doesn't even understand the magnitude of the problem Nigeria is facing ..where are you going to get the 100 thousand Naira from?

Who will vote this clueless one that foisted an old senile sick president on Nigerians


There is no way this guy can suddenly regain his senses just 3 years after supporting a failure. Nonsense

If I had wanted to vote you Sir(which i never has any intention to), I will withdraw forthwith...

This statement is ludicrous...
You don't know how much you are going to meet as a phantom president,and you are already declaring what to pay....
Even though Nigerian workers deserve that......what is your roadmap Sir?
With our flailing economy,how so you intend to achieve that?
You will do well as a SA on new media Sir.

Another Buhari in the making..

Lets wait for the manifesto

Story for the gods

Desperation everywhere!

Always vote for people that promise the least because they will be the least disappointing.

Going forward, what we intends to do

Understand it better

It is realistic, we did our homework before coming up with the proposal.

That's too much Mr Sowore

Even the proposed 50k by the federal government is too much

Most of our Corps members are unlearned and unproductive after college

They're just bunch of illiterates dressed in an academy camouflage

The best way to compensate them is to substitute any monetary rewards with basic entrepreneurship education, pray for them and encourage them that they still can become the likes of Aliko Dangote and Wale Adenuga of Nigeria

If many past Nigerian graduates had this single opportunity, most of them would have been greater than where they are at the moment

After all, business and entrepreneurship is the ultimate dream of many graduates

SOWORE maintains his earlier position that minimum wage will be 100,000 Naira when he becomes President.

Now for those pessimist who will come here to tell me it is not possible...

Politicians have told us many lies that's why you are saying it is not possible.

Permit me to tell you that a Nigerian Senator collects nothing less than 20 million naira every month...the house of reps members collects nothing less than 7.5 million every month.

Ministers and top government appointees collect millions every month.

Then when it comes to workers welfare they will tell you it is not possible to give workers a bumpy pay yet they spend billions of naira on themselves.

They waste billions buying you over during elections.

Be positive for once.

Vote SOWORE FOR PRESIDENT 2019.

Thanks, Nigerians have been brainwashed by the past and present analogue leadership we've had, they've internalize oppression and made to believe certain things are not possible.
We did the breakdown and analysis of the current salary scale and what we intends to pay to show the Naysayers that it is a possibility.

Does he intend to be paying only salaries?
What is the percentage of civil servants in the population that all resources should be channeled towards payment of their salaries?

All these jokers � displaying fiscal ignorance and naivety.

That's quite tantalizing, but we all know say na lie.

Na so bubu dey make mouth,
As e reach there, eye turn am once..
Him start to dey denounce e promises....

No need to make bogus promises Jare, at this point you're my choice! At least for now

Yeepa!!!!

can you forc Private business to comply, if no then its madness.

Let FB adjust its own Salary scheme

Oga politician, we don hear wetin even pass dis wan b4...........jus go ask buhari howfar wetin him bin promise

Tell that to the marines........
BTW govt. Isn't about just paying salaries

Story story, storrryyyy!


This is why I am not particularly keen on voting the so called members of the younger generation who want to lead, most of them have little or no experience and don't even bother to do their research well.

You just lost my vote Mr. Sowore

Oga we don hear. Next...

This further proves that he is naive.

foolish talk. i've always held the opinion that this sowore of a guy is clueless about governance and isn't different from those currently in power and he just confirmed it. before you start talking about paying a certain amount as minimum wage,common sense should tell you that you'd need to get to the seat of power first,understand the structure of government's current liabilities and debts,and so many other things,before you can start saying this is how you intend to spend the money. talking about minimum wage being 100,000 naira,how do you expect private businesses trying to stay afloat in this ailing economy to be able to pay 100,000 to all theeir staffs as minimum wage? or is the minimum wage basically for government employees? sowore is at best a clueless clown who doesnt even know his left from his right when it comes to governance/politics. he should go and sit down somewhere and focus on his sahara reporters and spare us all these bullshit he is spewing.
