The corruption in Nigeria’s power sector is so vast, so deeply entrenched, that it will take a sledgehammer, not a feather duster, to smash the monumental heist that has kept our people in darkness for decades. I saw this as far back as 2018, before this @OfficialAPCNg operative admitted public in this podcast.
Hear it here. The solution remains the same:, dismantle the cartel, democratize electricity, and deliver power to the people. #Sowore2027
Omoyele Sowore can't be caged by the paid judge who refused to recuse rather he ran away on 15th June 2026 to now revoked Omoyele Sowore bail. Because he must do the dirty job for the Criminal in power. https://t.co/OC6STiBWLw
AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS (AAC)
PRESS STATEMENT
17th June, 2026
AAC REJECTS STATE-SPONSORED INJUSTICE AGAINST OMOYELE SOWORE, CONDEMNS JUSTICE MOHAMMED GARBA UMAR'S ABUSE OF JUDICIAL POWERS
The African Action Congress (AAC) vehemently rejects the latest act of judicial recklessness and state-sponsored persecution orchestrated against our presidential candidate and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, by Justice Mohammed Garba Umar of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
In a disturbing display of bias and contempt for the principles of justice, Justice Umar, who had been formally asked to recuse himself from the case because of well-founded concerns regarding his impartiality, refused to do so and proceeded to revoke Sowore's bail and issue a bench warrant against him.
This decision is not only unjust but outrageous, considering that the court itself failed to sit on the previously adjourned date of June 15, 2026. Omoyele Sowore was physically present in court from 8:20 a.m. until nearly noon before he was informed that the judge would not be sitting. No prior notice was given, nor was any explanation offered for the judge's absence.
Having failed to appear on the scheduled date, Justice Umar, through the court registry, directed parties to return the following day. In good faith, Sowore formally communicated his inability to attend on June 16 and requested alternative dates for the ruling on his application seeking the judge's recusal. Rather than addressing the serious allegations of bias against him, Justice Umar chose the dishonorable path of judicial rascality by revoking Sowore's bail and issuing a bench warrant.
The AAC views this action as part of the broader campaign of political persecution being executed by the Bola Tinubu regime against dissenting voices. It is a dangerous assault on judicial integrity and a clear indication that certain elements within the judiciary have become willing instruments in the hands of those determined to silence critics and criminalize opposition.
Justice Mohammed Garba Umar cannot be a judge in his own cause. His refusal to recuse himself despite serious concerns over his impartiality, and his subsequent punitive actions against the very person questioning his neutrality, amount to an egregious abuse of judicial powers and a stain on the administration of justice.
We reject this state-sponsored injustice in its entirety.
The Nigerian people must recognize that what is happening to Omoyele Sowore today is a test case for democracy itself. If the judiciary can be weaponized against one citizen for expressing dissent, no Nigerian is safe from tyranny.
AAC remains resolute in standing with Omoyele Sowore, to not only upturn this injustice, but to also bring to an end the authoritarian regime of a failed President Tinubu.
We hereby call on all democratic forces, civil society organizations, the legal community, lovers of justice and especially members of our great AAC Party, to brace up and get ready for the fiercest resistance of our Party's political history, as we are poised to take over the country with series of mass actions, until the tyrant in Aso Villa is disgracefully flushed out of Power.

The clean energy mix is the key to Nigeria’s future. It is the pathway to 24/7 electricity, the end of decades of darkness, and the foundation of a sustainable industrial revolution.
By harnessing solar, wind, hydro, natural gas as a transition fuel, battery storage, and other renewable energy sources, Nigeria can finally deliver reliable power to homes, schools, hospitals, farms, and factories. No nation has ever industrialized in darkness.
A #Sowore2027 government will build a diversified, resilient, and affordable energy system that powers productivity, creates millions of green jobs, attracts investment, and restores Nigeria’s economic prowess.
It may be difficult for some compatriots to hear, but a nation governed by a leader @officialABAT involved drug-trafficking stands little chance of getting its moral compass right.
When those at the very top set the tone, the institutions responsible for upholding integrity are inevitably shaped in that image.
That is why officials such as @OfficialDSSNG Director-General Tosin Ajayi owe their loyalty not to the Nigerian people, but to the interests of the cartel.
They should all be reminded, as we have repeatedly reminded public officials intoxicated by naked power, that no abuse of power lasts forever. A day of reckoning is always near. #RevolutionNow
Dear @sowore, the court is at liberty to revoke bail in appropriate cases and so far you have not advanced any reason for which the court gave for the said revocation, rather, you are only speculating the reason for such decisions.
You have a right to fair hearing (fair trial), but in my opinion you have always abuse those rights and sometimes the privileges accorded you by the court. The fact that you asked or apply that a judge should recuse himself from your trial, doesn’t automatically mean that your request will be granted.
You should do well to conduct yourself in a manner that reflects your respect for the court, and not the show of your content creating skills, you and your people always display in courtroom and outside the courtroom.
Wish you all the best.
The struggle for a green energy transition and an end to the environmental cannibalism of multinational corporations has long been a central focus of my activism. I have taken this fight from corporate boardrooms to the streets, in Nigeria and beyond, picketing boardrooms, disrupting Annual General Meetings of fossil fuel giants, and standing with communities demanding environmental justice over corporate greed.
The events captured in these photographs took place in 2006 at the Ford Motor Company in Michigan and the second was in San Francisco, California at a @Chevron protest when we filed a human rights violation lawsuit against Nigeria’s oil giant at (Bowoto v. Chevron) in 2008 reflecting different moments in the struggle for environmental justice and a just green energy transition. #Sowore2027
This is how the evil Nigeria Police Force @policeng deployed aerosol-filled chemicals against peaceful June 12 protesters in Abuja.
One of their operatives sprayed the substance directly into my face at close range, causing me to collapse and struggle to breathe.
The attack was unprovoked and carried out against citizens exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest on Democracy Day.

🚨🇯🇵 𝗡𝗘𝗪: This is how Japan left their dressing room behind.
In Japan it’s tradition to clean everything all the time no matter where you are, for them it means mindfulness, organization, and respect.
When your national priorities are wrong, because the wrong people are in power, you can spend thousands of dollars deploying drones to light up the Lagos skyline for June 12 celebrations, yet fail to deploy the same drone technology to help locate kidnapped and missing school children held captive in forests.
A government that can mobilize resources for spectacle but not for saving lives has lost sight of its most basic responsibility.
Children remain in captivity while Nigerian officials celebrate. That is the tragedy of today's Nigeria.
@officialABAT is a scourge on the nation.

JUST IN: 🇳🇬 IMF has told the Nigerian government to impose fuel and telecom taxes on Nigerians, to increase government revenue.
Nigeria is currently the number 1 country with the lowest quality of life.
3 months after Nelson Mandela of South Africa was released from Prison, he visited Nigeria, and thanked Nigeria 🇳🇬 for its financial and material support.
