2023 Presidency: Sowore’s AAC, Governorship Candidate Reject Atiku, Tinubu, Endorse Peter Obi

The African Action Congress (AAC) in Enugu State has dumped the party’s presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, to back the presidential flag-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.

Naija News reports that the AAC made the announcement during a press briefing in Enugu on Wednesday.

Speaking to newsmen, the AAC governorship candidate in Enugu, Kene Ogbodo, said the party has endorsed Peter Obi for the forthcoming election scheduled for Saturday, February 25th.

On Sowore, the Enugu State chapter of the AAC said he has shown himself to be undemocratic.

Ogbodo slammed Sowore for hold the position of presidential candidate and the chairman of the party, thereby disallowing opportunities for inclusivity.

He said, “Obi might not have the full answer but he can actually start healing the wounds of the country.

“He is a man that has changed the political landscape in Nigeria, dismantled APC and PDP.

“Members of Action Congress here in Enugu hereby endorse Peter Obi instead of our presidential candidate, Sowore who has no pathway to the presidency. We have dumped his aspiration

“Sowore stands for one man band, he is inexperienced, he should continue with his activism.

“We make sure that undecided voters will come out to support him.

“We have nothing to do with Atiku and we are not supporting Tinubu.

“I am still in the governorship race, so we have nothing to do with LP in the State, but we are supporting Peter Gregory Obi for President.”
