“The court finally gave us the victory that is long overdue. While we never doubted the validity of our cause, the sanctity of our party was at stake as those who seek to destroy it are good and noble will always seek havoc and create distractions when the stakes are the most high.
But alas, they have again been put to shame, as we have reclaimed our beloved party and the courts have only confirmed what we have always known to be true and correct.”
The above were the words of African Action Congress (AAC) presidential hopeful, Omoyele Sowore, at the weekend. He added: “My beloved community, friends, comrades, party members, you have been true, you have been faithful, you have been loyal and you have been unrelenting in your support for me and for our beloved party the African Action Congress (AAC).
As always, I want to express the full sincerity of my appreciation for your commitment and your unwavering strength which allows me to continue to fight, even when the hour is most dark and the road ahead seems too daunting to continue.

“A great political party is not about individuals, it is about collective power, it is about the joining of dedicated people, with common goals and passions, that come together and join hands, side by side, to fight, build and strengthen a common platform for the progress of all.
A party is the vanguard of the people, it is not a place where selfish ambition is given room to bloat. “We have watched with disgust the process of primaries in other parties. We have seen live and in person, the criminality of the Nigerian state manifest for the whole world to see as the collective wealth of Nigerians was squandered on delegates.
This is stolen money! How can you rejoice and shout for joy when a thief extends his hand to give you a tiny sum of what he has stolen from you! But we will not spend this time with the distractions of the ruling elite.
But we can’t continue like this!!! Nigerians deserve better than the thieves and thugs that continue to try and hoodwink us!!
