Sowore: A lot of people will be shocked on Saturday

Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the Action Alliance Congress (AAC), says the political class will be shocked with the outcome of the February 16 general election.

He said this while speaking with newsmen on the sidelines of the AAC presidential rally in Akure, Ondo state capital.

He said he was in the race because Nigerians deserve a better leader to pilot its affairs.

“Our intention is to completely create a new political order in Nigeria that will retire the backward, corrupt, inept and wicked political class in Nigeria,” he said.

“It is going to be a revolution on Saturday but the revolution is not a one-time event, it will be a series of event that would put an end to this very inhuman condition of citizenship in Nigeria and a leadership that is not concerned about the welfare of the people.

“We are reaching out to the people of Nigeria not to be afraid, they should not reduce themselves to two options only. They cannot reduce themselves to the option of the hard rock and deep blue sea. Our destiny is not supposed to be caged that way, that’s why we are providing a solid alternative and we understand our people are getting the message.

“A lot of people will be shocked on Saturday, they will find out that the Nigeria they taught they are in charge of is no longer the Nigeria of today. Saturday is our own date with history and we are going to make it happen.

“We have taken our revolutionary campaign to 34 states across Nigeria, including the FCT, and we have done all the six geopolitical zone. We have done some twice, this is our third time in Akure, Ondo state. We have being to almost seven countries outside Nigeria, done about 240 political events.”

The AAC candidate also said he is optimistic of becoming the next president of the country and not threatened by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
