The camp of African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has made serious allegations against the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force. They claim that these security agencies have contracted assassins to eliminate Sowore, who is gearing up for the 2027 presidential election. This accusation comes in the wake of growing threats and violent attacks against Sowore and his supporters.
According to Sowore's camp, the threats against him are directly linked to his political activities and the increasing influence of his revolutionary movement across Nigeria. The movement, they claim, is advancing an alternative vision for Nigeria based on courage, justice, accountability, and the capacity to transform the country. Despite these alleged attempts to intimidate him, Sowore's camp remains committed to its political objectives.
A statement released by Sowore's camp, published under the headline “Who Wants Sowore Dead? DSS, Police Accused Of Contracting Assassins To Eliminate AAC Presidential Candidate,” detailed these allegations. It emphasized that the revolutionary objectives of Sowore's movement are spreading across Nigeria, and the political class is taking notice. The statement also urged Nigerians to explore the movement's ideas and stay informed through the SoworeNOW mobile application.
The SoworeNOW application, available on Android and iOS devices, aims to mobilize supporters and promote Sowore's political movement. Supporters are encouraged to download the application, register, and participate in activities surrounding Sowore's 2027 presidential campaign. The application can be downloaded through specific links provided by the campaign team.
These allegations come on the heels of a recent attack on Sowore and his entourage in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. On October 30, armed men reportedly attacked the AAC presidential candidate, disarmed his security team, and injured several people. Sowore's camp has alleged that security operatives attached to the DSS had prior knowledge of his movements and supplied information about his whereabouts to the attackers.
In response to the attack and alleged plots against Sowore, his camp has called for an independent investigation into the incident. They assert that the violent attacks and threats against Sowore will not silence his ideas or extinguish the movement. The camp remains determined, with a clear vision and unwavering commitment to a revolutionary alternative for Nigeria.
