 2023 Presidential Election:

Sowoore Tackles Kola Abiola

. Says: "I Don't Expect You To Run Against Me"

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore has said he did not expect the presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Kola Abiola to run against him in the forthcoming presidential election.

Speaking about his party's alliance with a faction of PRP that is not in support of Kola Abiola's candidacy, Sowore said he is entitled to be in alliance with any group that has an interest in his candidacy and Kola Abiola has the right to run for president. 

He however said he didn't expect Kola to run against him because he was one of those who fought for Kola's father, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola when the June 12 presidential election was annulled.

In a video shared on YouTube by Arise TV, Sowore said, "I don't think that by virtue of my struggle for the Abiola family, Kola Abiola should be struggling with me for the position of the presidency because when his father was encumbered in the annulment of the election we did the fighting, whereas Kola Abiola was having a good time.

"When his father died, we had to fight in the house almost physically, myself and Kola and Deji when they brought police to flush us out of the compound because they wanted the regime to come and pay homage to Abiola and we said no. 

"What I am saying is that it is not that he is not entitled to be president, but I am also entitled to be in alliance with organizations and groups that have indicated an interest in my candidacy." Sowore said.
