Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has taken his campaign to Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.

Addressing a crowd at The Plaza in Uyo on Monday, Sowore urged the people of Uyo and Nigerians not to vote for those who have destroyed the country and now parade themselves as the “messiah”.

Speaking on the need to vote out leaders who don’t have the best interest of the country at heart, Sowore said: “It is time to vote for the right candidate and to stop voting for ancestors interested in ruling Nigeria forever. It is time for young people with fresh ideas to rule this country. We are tired of old people who are recycling themselves. They have governed this country for 58 years.

“They’ve given ignorance instead of education; sickness instead of health; unemployment in place of jobs; poverty in place of wealth. I’m standing in front of you with capability, full of intellectuality, character and integrity. I’m not one of them who steal.”

Speaking further, Sowore, who is also the publisher of SaharaReporters, said the old politicians were able to capture the votes of people over the past years by giving them stipends during campaign and they believe it’s not time to be liberated. He implored then to say ‘no’ to vote-buying this time.

He continued: “They said that the people of Nigeria are not ready to be freed, that our destiny will be tied to the N4,000 cycle. But we are saying ‘no’ to that; ‘no’ to those who destroyed Nigeria and destroy it the more. They have killed all the industries and they are promising that if they come back again they are going to sell all.

“I have been fighting for the liberation of Nigeria for 30 years; enough is enough. We are tired of idiots and fools ruling this country. We are tired of people being ruled without certificates. When people who graduated from university don’t have jobs, people who do not go to school are becoming President. It is time for an educated person to become the President of Nigeria.


I don’t have money to distribute but I have the ideas to give you, because that will be the new currency in this country. Instead of funding lazy senators, we will fund our students. Instead of funding the armed robbers of the House of Representatives, we want to invest in our children.

“We want to turn Akwa-Ibom into a touristic centre where two million of people will be coming to visit. It is no longer going to be an oil-spillage state again and a place where politicians will lie to you that they’ve built a world-class hospital and when they are sick, they travel out to treat themselves.

"Our party is untainted and corrupt-free, and has never been involved in kidnapping and looting in the Nigeria’s treasury before. We have a bunch of educated, young, enthusiastic, aggressive, experienced candidates who will propel this country to greatness. We urge you to join us to save Nigeria today.”

Aaahh ! ancestors n vegetables?

You supported and vote one ancestor over a 58 man in 2015. Na now your eyes clear?

Baba speak louder so the atikulated morons and the sai barbarians at the back can hear clearly cos it seems they've lost their ability to hear the truth...#Sowore2019.

But we need Buhari out and no one in the north even knows of you talk more of voting you... And only another ancestor can do that

Analog thinkers ruling a digital society - Sowore

Okay

Ok

As if majority of those who he is refering to have an access to an internet/social media.

Apc and Pdp are the only party that can win a presidential elections in Nigeria, others are end of the year party

This one is frustrated by the yoots he banked on. I mean the Atikulooted youths.

Like for Pogba, Share Morinho

Noise maker

Honestly I don't understand why we are the way we are in Nigeria.

We have been yearning for someone young and vibrant to rule and here is someone promising but yet we criticize him for no reason.

The evil within is not our failed leaders, it's within us all

I would rather vote Kingsley Moghalu than Sowore.
Moghalu seems to be the only qualified candidate

Word of a dreamer

Are you talking to the average Nigerian youth who is only interested in celebrity gossip, fashion and premier league?

The ones that sat down and waited for PDP to give them a candidate instead of organizing themselves and selecting a candidate for themselves?

The ones that don't care if the country is looted and even act like its not their money? They don't even know their rights and the constitution.

Nigerian youths are the exact definition of intellectual laziness.

No reasonable igbo man will vote for a yoruba man.










No voting in east come 2019.



God bless delta.
God bless land of the rising sun.

So unfortunate the fools called youths will not vote for you but vote for the power drunken greedy old gluttons

Ok

Let's vote wisely ✌️

Verify your alipay check my profile

I think this guy is actually referring to the lifeless one..

Ancestor so quick

ArmaniUhuru:
You supported and vote one ancestor over a young man in 2015. Na now your eyes clear?

Evidence that he supported and vote him? Pls wake up, that's him doing his job, exposing corruption, he did it also to install that man, Jonathan to become president... He has even done it again in this this year, protesting for a youth supporting pdp but unjustly arrested... To him, it's about consistency and justice, no matter who us involved

The problem is that those in the core north are even ignorant of the word 'Ancestor'.
