Five governorship candidates of the African Action Congress (AAC) have disowned the party’s presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, alleging that he is undemocratic and inexperienced to lead the country.
The governorship candidates are: Iboro Robert Oru, (Akwa Ibom); Aliyu Ahmed, (Kwara state), Ray Ken, (Enugu state); Mojeed Kehinde Okedara, (Oyo state) and Aliyu Adamu, (Gombe State).
The Akwa Ibom candidate disclosed this on behalf of the other candidates, argued that by serving as both the party chairman and the presidential candidate, Sowore had demonstrated his anti-democratic tendencies and prevented prospects for inclusivity.
He said: “As gubernatorial candidates and committed members of the African Action Congress party, in the past six months, we have come to see and have expressed reservations about the readiness, leadership and attitude of our presidential candidate, Omoleye Sowore, who also doubles as the Chairman of our party.
