Omoyele Sowore Calls for Nationwide Uprising Against Current Administration

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress, has encouraged citizens to stand up against what he terms an oppressive government. He shared this appeal on Tuesday through his official X account. The activist believes now is the moment for Nigerians to support the revolutionary movement and ensure their perspectives are acknowledged. In his statement, Sowore emphasized the necessity of persistent mobilization and raising public awareness to dismantle the existing power structure. He declared that the campaign for change will persist until a victory is achieved. This call to action follows a Monday ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja, which directed that Sowore be detained at Kuje prison. His recent legal challenges have drawn significant attention, with various figures and organizations like Peter Obi, Timi Frank, and Amnesty International expressing concerns over his detention and its potential impact on democratic norms.
