Even the International Monetary Fraud (IMF, sorry, Fund) which would typically tolerate and enable its favourite puppet thieves, could no longer stomach Tinubu and his gang of thieves
₦8.8 TRILLION in public fund is stolen! #RevolutionNOW

[Omoyele Sowore @sowore]

GANG OF THIEVES: The IMF has revealed that @officialABAT and his gang of thieves cannot properly account for public spending worth about 2% of Nigeria’s entire GDP, roughly ₦8.8 TRILLION.

Off-budget spending, hidden from proper scrutiny and accountability. This is not a government; it is an organized looting operation! #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027

VIDEO RELEASE: The Lawless @OfficialDSSNG have forgotten that we came to liberate our country and we will not back down until we WIN! #TakeItBack #Sowore2027

[Omoyele Sowore @sowore]

I don’t understand why Nigerians even remotely think @officialabat Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, @femigbaja , was acting alone in taking a N400million bribe to create a fake government agency. Come on!

Do you guys not know @femigbaja's history in Atlanta, where he was stealing his client’s money as a lawyer? And @officialABAT himself lived in Chicago, where his past was tied to drug-trafficking and a major forfeiture case.

So, please, spare me the nonsense that @officialABAT suddenly discovered he had a thief beside him! Do you seriously think Tinubu doesn’t know Gbaja? Birds of the same feather don’t need introductions.

The real question is not whether Tinubu knows what Gbaja is capable of. The question is whether the entire @officialABAT government is not a racket.

A LONG READ, IT IS WORTH IT!

Building a Modern, Free, Inclusive, and Future-Ready Education System - #Sowore2027 Education Manifesto

Education is the greatest investment any nation can make in its future. It is the foundation of economic prosperity, scientific advancement, democratic participation, national security, and social justice.

A #Sowore2027 administration will place education at the centre of national development by guaranteeing every Nigerian access to free, high-quality education that nurtures knowledge, creativity, innovation, critical thinking, and productive citizenship.

Our objective is not merely to prepare students to pass examinations but to develop leaders, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, artists, skilled professionals, and responsible citizens capable of transforming Nigeria into one of the world’s most advanced societies.

Public education will be free at every level, from early childhood through university.

No Nigerian child or adult will be denied the opportunity to learn because of poverty.

Rather than burdening young people with exploitative student loans, students in public tertiary institutions will receive semester education grants to support their academic and living expenses.
Investing directly in students is an investment in the nation’s future, and no society has ever developed by making education inaccessible to its citizens.

My administration will restructure Nigeria’s education system to make it simpler, more efficient, and better aligned with global best practices.

We will restore a 5-year primary school system followed by five years of uninterrupted secondary education. University education will generally consist of four-year bachelor’s degree programmes, except where internationally recognized professional standards require longer periods of study.

To expand access to higher education, every Local Government Area will receive federal support to establish a Community College offering two-year associate degree programmes that provide affordable pathways into employment, entrepreneurship, vocational training, and university education.

We believe that learning begins long before primary school. Universal early childhood education will become an integral part of Nigeria’s public education system through well-equipped nursery and pre-primary schools staffed by professionally trained educators.

Every Nigerian child deserves the strongest possible educational foundation regardless of family income or geographic location.

Education in the twenty-first century must no longer be confined to the classroom alone.

Our administration will establish an integrated system of physical and virtual learning that allows every learner access to quality education, irrespective of where they live.

Every public educational institution will be connected to high-speed broadband internet and equipped with digital classrooms, virtual laboratories, cloud-based learning platforms, and online libraries. Through technology, students in the most remote communities will have access to educational opportunities comparable to those available anywhere in the world.

Artificial intelligence and digital technology will become central components of learning rather than privileges available only to a few.

AI-assisted personalized learning will help students progress at their own pace while enabling teachers to identify learning gaps and provide targeted support.

Coding, digital literacy, robotics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and computational thinking will become core elements of the national curriculum beginning in primary school. Every graduate should leave school equipped with the skills required to succeed in today’s economy while preparing for the technologies of tomorrow.

Community Colleges will become pillars of local development throughout Nigeria.

Every Local Government Area will operate a Community College offering associate degrees, technical certifications, adult education, continuing education, entrepreneurship training, digital skills programmes, and workforce development initiatives tailored to the needs of local communities.

These institutions will expand access to higher education while supporting local economic growth and reducing educational inequality between urban and rural Nigeria.

Technical and vocational education will enjoy the same status, funding, and public respect as traditional university education.

Nigeria cannot industrialize without highly skilled technicians, engineers, artisans, and innovators.

Training programmes will focus on renewable energy, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, aviation, maritime industries, healthcare technologies, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and the creative industries.

Our objective is to produce graduates who can create jobs, build industries, and compete successfully in global markets.

The long-standing and discriminatory divide between universities and polytechnics will finally end.

All polytechnics and monotechnics will be upgraded into universities with specialized mandates in engineering, applied sciences, technology, industrial innovation, entrepreneurship, and research. This reform will remove artificial barriers to educational advancement while strengthening Nigeria’s capacity for technological development.

No education system can rise above the quality of its teachers. Our administration will place teachers at the centre of national development by establishing Teachers’ Institutes dedicated to continuous professional development.

Every teacher, regardless of previous qualifications, will undergo periodic advanced training in modern pedagogy, educational technology, digital learning, artificial intelligence, curriculum development, classroom leadership, and contemporary teaching methods. Teachers will also receive significantly improved salaries, better housing support, expanded research opportunities, and greater professional recognition.

Universities must remain centres of independent thought rather than instruments of political control. Our administration will guarantee genuine academic, financial, and administrative autonomy for universities while maintaining strong systems of public accountability.

Vice-Chancellors and governing councils will be selected through transparent, democratic, and merit-based processes free from partisan political interference.

Academic freedom will be fully protected. Students and lecturers will enjoy the constitutional rights to research, teach, publish, organize, criticize public policy, and participate peacefully in democratic life without intimidation from government or security agencies. Nigerian campuses will once again become centres of intellectual inquiry, innovation, and democratic debate.

Independent student unionism will also be fully restored and protected. Students have the democratic right to organize themselves, defend their welfare, advocate for reforms, and participate in institutional governance.

No student will face victimization, suspension, expulsion, or prosecution for engaging in legitimate and peaceful activism.

Nigeria must become a producer of knowledge rather than merely a consumer of discoveries made elsewhere.

Our administration will dramatically increase funding for research and innovation across universities and research institutes. Priority investment will support research in medicine, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, agriculture, climate science, manufacturing, transportation, defence technology, public health, and other fields capable of driving national development.

Research grants will be awarded transparently on the basis of merit, measurable impact, and relevance to Nigeria’s developmental needs.

To support learning and innovation nationwide, we will establish a National Education and Innovation Cloud providing every student and teacher with free access to digital libraries, academic journals, AI learning assistants, virtual laboratories, educational software, research databases, and open educational resources. Access to knowledge should never depend on geography or personal wealth.

Our administration will undertake the largest investment in educational infrastructure in Nigeria’s history.
Every school will be equipped with modern classrooms, functional laboratories, libraries, renewable electricity, clean water, reliable internet connectivity, sports facilities, creative arts centres, and infrastructure accessible to persons living with disabilities.

University campuses will feature AI-powered smart hostels with modern security systems, efficient energy management, digital student services, and technology-enabled learning environments.

No child should attempt to learn while hungry. We will establish a nationwide school nutrition programme providing healthy daily meals for pupils in public primary and Secondary schools using food sourced from Nigerian farmers.

Student welfare will also include accessible healthcare, counseling services, mental health support, menstrual hygiene programs, and comprehensive wellbeing initiatives designed to improve educational outcomes.

Our education system will be fully inclusive. Children and adults living with disabilities will receive equal educational opportunities through accessible infrastructure, assistive technologies, Braille and sign-language instruction, specialized teaching personnel, and individualized learning support.

Every Nigerian deserves an education regardless of physical or cognitive ability.

Education must develop the whole person. Our schools will place renewed emphasis on sports, music, literature, theatre, visual arts, film, and cultural education.
Modern sports facilities and creative arts centres will become standard features of educational institutions, enabling young Nigerians to develop their talents while strengthening national identity and cultural confidence.

Nigeria is blessed with one of Africa’s largest communities of scholars and professionals abroad.

Through a National Academic Return Programme, we will encourage Nigerian academics, scientists, researchers, innovators, and professionals in the diaspora to contribute to national development by offering competitive remuneration, research funding, modern laboratories, housing support, and flexible academic appointments. Their expertise will strengthen teaching, research, mentorship, and international collaboration across Nigerian institutions.

Learning should continue throughout life. Every Nigerian will have opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skills through flexible online learning platforms, community colleges, vocational education centres, continuing education programmes, and lifelong learning initiatives designed to keep pace with changing technologies and labour markets.

Education will be recognized and protected as a fundamental constitutional right. Every level of government will have a legal obligation to provide quality education to every Nigerian without discrimination based on income, gender, disability, ethnicity, religion, or place of residence.

Finally, our commitment to education will be matched by our commitment to good governance. A #Sowore2027 administration will allocate 30 percent of the national budget to education, treating it as a strategic investment rather than a recurring expense.

Every allocation will be subject to complete transparency through open budgeting, digital procurement, independent audits, and public reporting.

Corruption in education financing will not be tolerated. Funding for schools, universities, and research institutions will be distributed transparently through Blockchain Technology and linked to measurable improvements in learning, research, innovation, and national development.

We will establish a National Research and Innovation Fund to support groundbreaking discoveries and ensure that publicly funded research delivers practical solutions to Nigeria’s economic, technological, environmental, and social challenges.

This is our vision: an education system that is free, inclusive, technology-driven, research-intensive, democratic, globally competitive, and firmly rooted in the belief that every Nigerian deserves the opportunity to develop their full potential. Our goal is not simply to produce graduates, but to produce thinkers, innovators, creators, scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, skilled workers, and leaders who will build a prosperous, just, technologically advanced, and truly liberated Nigeria.

When I become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria:

@JAMBHQ will be abolished. Admission into tertiary institutions should be determined by the institutions themselves under a transparent, merit-based system, not by another layer of bureaucracy.

The National Youth Service Corps @nysc_ng , in its current form, will be scrapped. In its place, we will establish a two-year, voluntary National Job Corps that guarantees participants meaningful employment, practical skills, entrepreneurship support, and pathways into permanent careers.

Nigeria's young people do not need more compulsory schemes. They need opportunities, jobs, skills, and the freedom to choose their future.

Nuhu Ribadu in 2006, today NSA already called Bola Ahmed Tinubu what Omoyele Sowore is calling him today. So what are we talking about. Sowore calling Tinubu a criminal is not the issue, the issue is what Nigerians are going to do about it. #TinubuMustGo

I would have remained a political activist and never become a politician by joining party politics,Omoyele Sowore gave me that hope to join party politics. This is the same for many young people. The uncompromising courageous will become the president of this country. #Sowore2027#Sowore2027

[Omoyele Sowore @sowore]

Students of the University of Lagos who were on campus between 1993 and 1994 can bear witness to this.

One of the earliest lessons I learned in life is that the struggle for justice and the defense of the oppressed are often thankless. That is the burden of leadership.

In 1993, when cult violence had placed the University of Lagos under siege, cult groups had effectively taken over the campus. The university authorities were complicit, and many of the attacks were coordinated with the active involvement of the university administration and the then Commissioner of Police, James Danbaba.

A few student leaders and I made a decision that we would confront cultism head-on, regardless of the personal cost.

For that decision, I was brutally beaten, injected with unknown substances, humiliated, and left at the brink of death. But the deepest wound was never the physical abuse. It was the ingratitude and disappointment from the very students whose lives we were risking everything to protect.

At one point, I wrestled a live grenade from a student who intended to detonate it on campus. While many stood frozen in fear, I was prepared to lose my own life if that was what it took to save thousands of other students.

I do not recount these experiences to seek sympathy or applause. I say them because they define what leadership truly means. Leadership is sacrifice. Leadership is standing for what is right when it is dangerous, unpopular, or unappreciated. Leadership is remaining committed to justice even when those you fight for do not understand the price you are paying.

My fight to liberate Nigeria did not begin today. It is a commitment I made decades ago, and one I have never and will never abandoned!

These newly surfaced clips of my interactions with Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola are yet another reminder that my commitment to the struggle for justice, democracy, and the liberation of Nigeria did not begin today. Long before many of those now occupying positions of power found their voices, I was already on the frontlines of the June 12 struggle, standing with Nigerians against military dictatorship and demanding that the people’s mandate be respected.

The irony is striking: many of the opportunists, enablers, and pretenders who either opposed, ignored, or later hijacked that democratic struggle are now in positions of authority and seek to suppress those who remained faithful to its ideals. They may wield state power today, but history has shown repeatedly that repression cannot extinguish a just cause.

These clips are not merely historical artifacts; they are evidence of consistency. They show a young activist standing with the democratic movement when it was dangerous to do so, and they connect directly to the same principles that continue to guide the struggle today.

Those who now deploy the machinery of the state against dissent should remember that every generation produces its oppressors and its resisters. The oppressors enjoy temporary power; the resisters ultimately inherit history.

They will be defeated. The cause of justice endures. The struggle continues. #TakeItBack #Sowore2027 #SoworeForPresident

AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS (AAC)
PRESS STATEMENT

23rd June, 2026

TINUBU'S ATTEMPT TO SILENCE SOWORE HAS FAILED: AAC DECLARES AN INTENSIFIED CAMPAIGN FOR THE LIBERATION OF NIGERIA

The African Action Congress (AAC) strongly condemns the latest judicial assault against our Presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, following the order of Justice M.G. Umar remanding him at the Kuje Correctional Centre under circumstances that clearly expose the political character of the persecution being orchestrated against him.
This reckless exercise of judicial power leaves no doubt that the case against Sowore is driven not by law, but by political considerations and a desperate attempt by the Tinubu regime to silence the most consistent and uncompromising voice of opposition in Nigeria.

Two major factors have made this persecution even more vicious.

First, millions of Nigerians are increasingly paying attention to the message of liberation championed by Sowore and are embracing the revolutionary programme of the African Action Congress. The ruling establishment is alarmed by the growing popularity of a movement that seeks to place political power in the hands of ordinary Nigerians.

Second, Sowore and the Take It Back Movement have sustained vigorous advocacy and protests demanding the rescue of school pupils and teachers abducted by terrorists in Oyo State. Rather than confront insecurity and protect lives, the government has chosen to persecute those who insist that the lives of Nigerians matter.

The AAC views this latest action as part of a broader plot by the Tinubu administration to weaken democratic opposition and eliminate the fiercest and most credible challenge to its anti-people policies. We state unequivocally that such schemes will fail.

Accordingly, the African Action Congress is mobilizing its members and supporters across Nigeria and around the world to resist every attempt to destroy democracy and criminalize dissent.
The biased conduct of Justice M.G. Umar will not go unchallenged. The judiciary must not be reduced to an instrument in the hands of an increasingly authoritarian APC administration.

We are pleased to inform Nigerians that Comrade Omoyele Sowore remains in very high spirits. True to his lifelong commitment to the struggle for justice and social transformation, he has already commenced revolutionary mobilization even from prison. His incarceration cannot imprison the ideals of freedom and people's power.

Tinubu's attempt to silence Sowore has failed. His detention shall become a rallying point for a broader and more determined struggle to liberate Nigeria from poverty, insecurity, corruption and state repression.

We therefore call on all members of the AAC, supporters of democracy and oppressed Nigerians to rise to this historic responsibility. Beyond demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Omoyele Sowore, Nigerians must intensify the struggle for the liberation of our country and rally around the African Action Congress, which is the genuine vehicle for the emancipation of the Nigerian people.

We call on all Nigerians to continue the struggle that Sowore has championed and ensure that the plight of the abducted Oyo pupils are not relegated to back pages.

No amount of intimidation, judicial manipulation or state-sponsored persecution can extinguish the people's desire for freedom.
