Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has dismissed any prospect of joining the emerging opposition coalition that aims to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday, Sowore, who was the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), asserted that he could not align with individuals he accuses of having contributed to the nation’s problems.
His statement was a direct response to fellow activist Deji Adeyanju, who had urged him to compromise and join the coalition.
However, Sowore, known for his strong criticism of the establishment, reiterated his unwillingness to compromise his ideology for political expediency.

“I did not join Bola Ahmed Tinubu in distributing heroin and cocaine in Chicago,” Mr Sowore said.
“I did not join Atiku Abubakar in looting the Nigerian Customs dry. I did not join David Mark when he stole funds meant to fix our telephones and later helped to crush our democratic hopes on June 12.
“I did not join Abubakar Malami, SAN, in violating human rights and looting the treasury under Muhammadu Buhari’s watch.
“I did not join Nasir El-Rufai in massacring Shiites and fuelling religious genocide in Southern Kaduna.
“I did not join Peter Obi at the Tin Can Ports while he cleared goods for Sani Abacha when the same Abacha was dismantling Nigeria brick by brick,” he added.
Mr Sowore emphasised that he has “never joined an armed robbery gang” or pledged allegiance to any “cult—no matter how popular, powerful, or fanciful.”
“I have only one allegiance: to the oppressed, the disenfranchised, the cheated, the silenced.
“I will join only those ready and willing to end this national nightmare created by these characters listed above!
“Let it be known: I stand with a vanguard of justice. A coalition of truth. A revolutionary team to restore the dignity of Nigerians. Nigeria must be free from these evil doers.”
