2027: Sowore accuses Obi of renting a party every election and criticises the NDC

Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), accused Peter Obi of switching parties before elections without seeking to liberate Nigerians. In a post on X, he alleged that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) made ₦9 billion from nomination forms while its leaders ran the party from their homes. Sowore also claimed Obi and his allies aim to manage opposition to Bola Tinubu’s administration rather than mount a serious challenge, and named governors Ademola Adeleke and Alex Otti among those he said distract from the country’s problems. Obi, who ran for president under the Labour Party in 2023, has joined the NDC ahead of the 2027 election.
