Sowore has a valid point about recycled leadership, but at the same time, unity among opposition parties could be strategic if the goal is to unseat the current system. The real issue is not just coalition, but whether those involved have truly changed and can offer accountability. Nigerians are watching beyond slogans.

the last time opposition met to remove Jonathan are we not still suffering from the effect till today?

Sponsored agent, it's clearer now

Sowore the opposition oppositioning the opposition.

First in history.

U still deh speak English

“We will mobilize Nigerians across the country to rally behind a credible vision that rejects the decadence and deception represented by both the @OfficialAPCNg and their opportunistic counterparts in ADC, PDP, Labour Party, and elsewhere.”

With 14000 votes that's not enough for a Councillor. Sowere please stop ego tripping and start to consider options.

💯/💯

But do we find

That's the best thing right now lets everyone go in their separate ways enough of this by force wedding.

Politicaly irrelevant stupid boy

Sowore, i like the the activist spirit in you, but politically, you will not go far. Change your minset, mingle with political powers to chsnge the narrative

What he said is it true or false? If true, why do people keep labeling him as arrogant stubborn, and jealous. He got 14K votes, how else can he increase the numbers? Isn't it by appealing to Nigerians, and showing that he is different from the others? Since 1999, it can be seen that Nigerians vote the individual and not the party, so people that keep telling him to join a popular party or form a coalition, are not sincere. If you believe what he is saying and you think he has the capabilities do them, throw your support behind him, and ask other people to join. When he becomes a movement, the other parties, will join him and not the other way around. For instance Peter Obi has a massive movement, he joined the ADC, and he has to play by their rules and the way it is going they are trying to drown him out and sideline him.

He lost the audacity to make such a statement. Do you know that Sowere is a frequent contestant in most presidential elections and has been roundly rejected by all and sundry?.

He has been a politician since Adams and has no integrity or good name to run on than aluta continue and other unserious childish slogans, this publication included.

Are you referring to Sowore or someone else? He has only contested twice and joined politics in 2018. How was he rejected by 'all and sundry'? Kindly enlighten me about his lack of integrity and good name.

Sowore can never be president because he is the most unserious and confused candidate of the lot.

I have never see Sowore sit down at an interview and highlight the problems of Nigeria and profer solutions to it. All he does is attack who he thinks has a better chance of winning. The reason is simply because he doesn't know what the problems are.

Either Sowore thinks because Nigerians are emotional, he will win by emotions Abi he is still contesting for SUG president.

Sowore has no experience at governance, from LGA to federal level, he has never been within any government, how does he want to govern?

He should go and start from LGA and stop wasting his time and some gullible people's time.

Mingle? So they can sideline him and make him one of their own. Who are the political powers? Isn't it we the citizens? We are the ones that vote. Let's stop ascribing powers and titles to our fellow human beings, and take back our country. If Nigerians resisted the shenanigans that happened in 2023, we wouldn't be here talking about opposition or no opposition. The people are the opposition, the leaders know this and that is why they are doing everything to divide us via religion and ethnicity.

Sowore again?
Unfortunately, the recycled politicians have the political might and you MUST work with them.

They won't even miss him he couldn't even get up to 50k votes in the last presidential election despite all his noise so why will any sane person take him serious?

Angels won't come down to lead nigeria it's better to work with these same old politicians whose time in office where still far better than this current tinibu's apc administration.

Sowore is just running for president to boost his personal CV nothing else even himself knows he can't win any free and fair presidential election in nigeria.

You wish a miracle will happen in Nigeria and Sowore becomes president of Nigeria as currently structured and governed..

The failure that Late govt critic, Tai Solarin, became in office, shall stare Sowore in the face.

This polling unit politician is working for Bola Agbado Tinubu

You had been working for Tilumbu for a very long time, we know this too well. You called tilumbu a criminal and got away with it. Nigerians that wants to change this satanic regime should not look back or look at you; very soon; you will run back to US as usual. Non of your children's are in Nigeria.. Na one vote you get. Nigerian will do the needful! Send the blood sucker to iragbaji or lagos..

If you want to be the president of Nigeria you need more than 14 000 votes.

Leadership needs experience many of the people sowere is calling failure pass through a process.. To be a president, you most have been
A leader in your electoral ward
Then you become a councilor
Then you become LG chairman
Then state assembly
Then federal House of representative
Then a senator
Then a governor

This political process is similar to students. For you to be called a graduate, you must pass through the education. Process.

So why must Nigerians don't take sowere serious is that he lacks the background.

clefstone:
I have known for more than a decade that Sowore is Tinubu's surrogate

Tell us how.

Just like the APC coalition successfully unseated the PDP without a plan, it plunged Nigeria into a disaster. Removing Tinubu is important, but replacing Tinubu with a coalition of crooks and opportunists will continue the cycle of failure.

Leadership start with a vision and ideology. Millions of Nigerians don't even vote because they don't trust Nigerians political elites

Chris Okotie pro max.

Pained that he saw himself as the alternative to PDP and APC and felt that when the people are tired of the usual nonsense, they'll vote him...but along came a third force that took away his ambition and left him with 14k votes.

You actively participated in bring in the APC and even took glory for it, smiling like an idiot on the day of the announcement of Buhari as winner. You were abandoned and not given any position so you turned activist again to fight against the disaster you supported.

Well said, but tell yourself the truth. You have to join them, to cause a change. For instance, Daniel, Esther, could not have caused a change if they avoided the corridor of powers. Same with Joseph. You have to be among them to cause a change.

bentenny:
Nigeria also deserves a break from individuals who want to use activism to enter leadership positions!

A man who spends most of his media space talking about his fellow opposition candidates without carefully and clearly detailing what makes him a better candidate is destined to fail!

My question to Sowore is what does he really want?
Does he want a revolution like his constant hashtag clearly states or does he want to be president?

You cannot be canvassing for a revolution while seeking elective position in a system you don't even believe in!

I disagree...
How will the system change?
What of if he wants to become the president to change things?

lordwoz:

He should stick to one!
Demanding for revolution is clearly stating that no institution or rule of law can be trusted or even functional...the moment you claim you want to be president under the same systems you are fighting against,you are clearly making a mockery of yourself!

Your point is very valid, but the danger of joining them when you are not in a position of strength or when you go in solo, is you either end up becoming like them or you lose your voice, because they are in the majority and they are hell bent on maintaining the status quo. Change can be made internally or externally. What the ruling class wants us to believe is that it can only happen internally, so you either join them or lose out. The truth is that power belongs to the people, and the day we Nigerians decide we want that change it will happen regardless.
