Omoyele Sowore, the former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, has given an explanation for why he is unable to work with Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential contender.
He emphasized that Obi is simply better at “packaging,” saying that he is no different from other dishonest politicians.
According to Sowore, he had been running for president for a long time before Obi became well-known across the country.
He stated, “Before you discovered Peter Obi, I was already running for President,” in a recent Honest Bunch Podcast episode. These yells concerning Peter Obi… He simply packages well. Anyone can do it.
“If I join [form a coalition with] Peter Obi, I will be going against what I have always stood for. Which is that, I will never support a Nigerian leader who has held any political office before whom I consider non-performing.
“It’s the same reason I would never have joined hands with Atiku. And the Peter Obi you are talking about was Vice Presidential candidate to Atiku when I was presidential candidate in 2019.
“So, what are we talking about? There is no lesser evil in my book. If you are evil, you are evil. If you are good, you are good. I have a general disdain for non-performance.”
