The presidential candidate of the AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has declared that Nigeria needs a revolutionary overhaul of its economic and political system to end corruption, insecurity, inequality, and elite domination.

Speaking while unfolding his action plans as the Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in Abuja, Sowore described the AAC as Nigeria’s only genuine opposition and the country’s only registered socialist party committed to dismantling what he called a corrupt neo-colonial order.

He accused successive governments of privatizing national security, empowering oligarchs, and implementing copy-and-paste economic policies dictated by the IMF and World Bank while ordinary Nigerians suffer hunger, unemployment, and insecurity.

According to him, insecurity in Nigeria is rooted in extreme inequality and economic exclusion.

Sowore vowed that an AAC government would dismantle monopolies, nationalize strategic sectors, and prosecute corrupt elites.

A major highlight of his speech was the unveiling of four people-driven economic models designed to replace what he termed Nigeria’s failed Black Economy.

He also announced that the AAC and the #RevolutionNow movement would declare a “Nationwide State of Resistance” on August 5 against “tyranny, oppression, corruption, exploitation, and the destruction of Nigeria’s future.

He called on all Nigerians to join the struggle towards making the country a better place for all sundry, especially Youth, women and the children.
