"My dear people of Osun State, as you go to exercise your franchise tomorrow, vote the only credible candidate — vote Olajide Esan of the AAC.”
“Your only sure bet to good governance and development. It will end your poverty, pain and sorrow.” Tomorrow, your vote is your voice. A powerful message from Omoyele Sowore, AAC Presidential Candidate, to the people of Osun.

I read somewhere that the lawless @OfficialDSSNG DG, Tosin Ajayi, now claims they are investigating those who assembled to assault, abduct, and unlawfully hold me hostage me for over an hour in the basement of the Federal High Court. That claim is itself an insult to intelligence. Earlier today, he sent his goons to the Kuje correctional center to intimidate and harass me all the way to the Federal High Court from these goons took over the court premises, and took over the courtroom harassing, lawyers, and citizens
For starters, this operation was planned by the DSS hierarchy. It was coordinated through the Director of Operations, Dogiwa, who remained in constant communication with the team that assaulted and held me hostage after the attack.
No one should be fooled. Tosin Ajayi acting on behalf of Tinubu bears responsibility for what happened at the Federal High Court. Part of the operation was captured on video, while other aspects occurred in the elevator and behind the court complex, away from public view.
Their plans were ultimately frustrated by revolutionary fighters and supporters outside the court premises, whose presence made it impossible for the operation to proceed as intended.
These desperate acts will neither alter nor delay the judgment of history. The collaboration between Tosin Ajayi and former illegal IGP Kayode Egbetokun had already been exposed by SaharaReporters before the court date.
We will continue to resist oppression, expose wrongdoing, and confront those who abuse power.
The struggle continues until justice prevails.
The mass revolt against injustice is coming.
THE SPEECH OF HISTORY!
AAC! Take It Back!
Take It Back!!
Action!!!
No Going Back!
Firstly, I want to thank you all for turning out en masse for this historic event. Leaders and members of the party, and every well-meaning Nigerian who took time out to be here today. If you are present in this hall, it is because you truly love Nigeria and believe in the revolutionary process we preach as the only path to a better society. I greet you all — not like the other guys who say “fellow Nigerians” when what they actually mean is their fellow crooks who have brought us to the sorry state we are in today.
I stand before you today, accepting the confidence you have bestowed upon me, with clenched fists of solidarity. Everyone here represents the spirit of the oppressed masses gathered in every shanty, village, and town across the length and breadth of this country — from Badagry to Bakassi, Baga to Balle, and Gumel to Bonny. Yes, we represent all the oppressed people of Nigeria.
This year, our party, the African Action Congress, turns eight years old. As the only registered socialist party in Nigeria and indeed the only genuine opposition, we have stood firm as a moral and ideological alternative to the criminal conspiracy that other parties disguise as democracy.
When we started, they said everything imaginable about us. Yet, we have survived what many so-called heavyweight political parties could not — infiltration, state-sponsored attacks, and relentless persecution. We have remained the unwavering voice of truth for Nigerians. It is now clear to all that we do not want a seat at the table; we are here to shatter the table from which Nigerians have long been subjected to evil neo-colonial policies designed to keep us as second-class humans.
You all know we are not a party of godfathers. We have no retired generals in our Board of Trustees, nor do we visit corruption-built mansions to take instructions. Our power has always come from the people. That is why, even when arrests are made, bullets are fired, and tear gas canisters are hurled at us, we stand firm — proving time and again that we are the party that will never betray the people for a pot of porridge.
We have blazed the trail. While some claimed there was “no alternative” to dictatorship, we declared #RevolutionNow. Many of us paid dearly with arrests, assaults, brutality, and detention in dungeons. That attempt to suppress dissent only gave birth to more revolutionaries, as the #EndSARS protest clearly showed.
While others were busy issuing statements, we took to the streets and remained there even after the massacres that occurred across the country. Before then, we had drawn the world’s attention to the hunger ravaging the nation through the Cacerolazo protests — a call that was later amplified during the #EndBadGovernance protests against the so-called removal of fuel subsidies, which only served to enrich a few individuals.
We have never blamed the poor for being hungry. The system was deliberately designed by thieves to enrich themselves. Whenever the foundations of this establishment have been shaken, you will always find the footprints of the AAC.
Take it Back! Action!!
Now, look at what they are doing to secure their loot and the power they have stolen. Security has been privatized — one of the most dangerous developments in Nigeria’s history!
They quote the Constitution, which says the welfare and security of the people shall be the primary responsibility of government. Yet, their primary objective is self-enrichment, not the protection of the people.
This is why they have outsourced that responsibility to private individuals, forcing citizens to provide their own security. The Navy has been sold in the Niger Delta. The protection of our waterways and creeks has been handed over to one individual whose past, even they admit, is questionable. This is not the first time they have ceded national assets without considering the consequences for the people. Bakassi remains a classic example.
It is not only in the creeks. The Police have become an enforcement organ of the ruling class. You only hear “to serve and protect” during official functions. In reality, they are not there to protect the lives and property of ordinary citizens but serve as tools for the highest bidder to oppress the poor and vulnerable.
The same applies to the State Security Service, which has become a vicious attack dog.
None of these deterred our resolve. We continued the fight for oppressed law enforcement officers, especially in the Police. We ensured that officers who had overstayed in the system, including the former IGP, Egbetokun, were retired. We also compelled the Police to carry out the largest promotion exercise in its history — with over 100,000 marginalized officers promoted across different exercises.
But we are not naive. The problem is not just promotions or ending the wicked police pension scheme, nor is it just removing one IGP. The entire security architecture is designed to protect the wealthy and crush the poor. As a party, we will not relent until we demilitarize the police, hold all errant officers accountable, and put rogue security agencies back in their cage.
As we work towards this, we must ask: Why is there so much insecurity? When it suits those in power, the perpetrators are labeled bandits, kidnappers, unknown gunmen, insurgents, or terrorists.
These people did not fall from the sky. They are the bitter fruits of the diseased tree we call a country. The root cause is the monopolization of state resources. When a few people take everything and leave millions of energetic young people without jobs, hope, or a future, they become easy recruits for forces of destruction.
Whether it is violence in the North, agitations in the South, or kidnapping on our highways — often proudly displayed on social media — these are direct consequences of a system that has produced one of the highest levels of inequality on earth.
People now find the AK-47 economy more attractive because their government has made them feel worthless in the real economy, where officials steal billions and go unpunished.
These corporate criminals are our real enemies. They want us to believe they are untouchable oligarchs holding our lives and the economy by the jugular. What we are witnessing is a dangerous shift from state capture to outright private capture, where a few individuals dictate fuel prices, cement prices, and food prices, while keeping the government on its knees.
When a private businessman can hold an entire nation hostage over fuel prices, that is no longer capitalism — it is economic terrorism. Yet the EFCC will never touch such people. The same applies to cement prices that have made housing unaffordable for the poor, while owners smile to the bank announcing massive profits. This pattern repeats in the telecommunications sector, where cartels make billions from citizens while providing terrible service.
In our government, there will be no monopolies. We will break them up and nationalize strategic sectors so that all Nigerians benefit, not just a few families.
Comrades, fellow Nigerians, the economic pain we feel today is a policy choice. Do not be deceived by those who say only God can solve our problems. The cruel decision to remove fuel subsidies without any palliative measures or local refining capacity was a decree handed down from Washington, D.C.
These are copy-and-paste neo-colonial policies sponsored by the IMF and World Bank, whose standard playbook remains: devalue your currency, float the naira, remove subsidies, and increase taxes on the poor.
It is tragic that our so-called leaders in Abuja simply copy and paste these policies while the rest of us bear the suffering. Ironically, the same Bretton Woods institutions that imposed Structural Adjustment Programs in the 1980s — destroying our textile mills, refineries, and middle class — now return to complain about corruption in Nigeria.
The World Bank itself admits that governance failures are sabotaging its loans. Yet it continues to lend billions to an unaccountable government, piling unsustainable debt on the heads of unborn children. We say no to that! We will not pay debts incurred by a corrupt cabal to enrich themselves. We will reject these loans and subject them to a thorough audit.
We are not offering another version of their failed plans. We need a revolution. We must build power from below.
This is why we have always stood with informal workers. Over 90 percent of our workforce operates in the informal sector — from okada riders to market women who are constantly harassed by government-sponsored thugs. They constitute the real backbone of our GDP. All workers deserve the dignity of pensions, health insurance, and freedom from government-sanctioned extortion.
We have also worked with organized labour and jointly resisted attempts to turn workers into slaves through casualization. However, the NLC and TUC must understand that strikes alone are not enough. Revolution is the ultimate solution, and the AAC is leading the way. Why negotiate with a government that does not value you when you can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the AAC?
We have a clear program. We are the only party with a genuinely people-friendly plan. We will reclaim our security by providing jobs, education, and justice. We will invest massively in education, which has been deliberately bastardized to justify outsourcing our development.
We will prosecute those who have looted our commonwealth — whether they wear military medals, governors’ sashes, or clerical robes. They will face a people’s tribunal. The days of looters writing memoirs and throwing birthday parties are over. You steal our future, we steal your freedom. It is that simple.
We are the party of the future. For eight years, we have changed the political landscape — not by buying delegates with dollars, but by raising consciousness, marching, sacrificing, and refusing to be silent.
The road to Aso Rock does not pass through the bedrooms of governors. It passes through the streets, the factories, and the hearts of millions of Nigerians who know this corrupt system offers them only death. Let us walk that road together.
Imagine waking up to 24 hours of electricity. Imagine your homes in cities and towns so safe that you no longer need prison walls you call fences. Imagine a transportation system so efficient that you can travel safely anywhere in Nigeria by road, water, or air. Imagine world-class healthcare so you don’t have to die in India or Egypt. Imagine an education system so free and qualitative that you don’t need to beg to study in Ghana, Togo, or Benin Republic. Imagine food security. Imagine security of lives and property. Imagine employment and opportunities where you don’t need to know anyone to get into school, secure a job, or get an interview.
And the time has now come to fundamentally change the economic philosophy and development model of Nigeria by building an economy powered by sustainability, productivity, and shared prosperity for the people. For too long, the Nigerian economy has functioned like a black hole — designed only to service the greed and gluttony of a tiny elite while millions remain trapped in poverty, unemployment, and hopelessness.
The new economic direction must be people-centered, color-coded, and driven by the specific needs and strengths of our population. The true measure of economic success must no longer be the obscene wealth of a few oligarchs, but the prosperity, dignity, and opportunities available to ordinary Nigerians.
Today, we introduce four people-driven economic models for prosperity.
First is the Orange Economy — designed to empower our entertainment, creative, technology, and sports-driven youth population. Nigeria’s young people are among the most talented in the world, yet many remain unemployed or underpaid. Through the Orange Economy, we will invest massively in music, film, fashion, digital innovation, sports, arts, and culture as engines of employment, wealth creation, and sustainable prosperity.
Second is the Purple Economy — focused on the empowerment and economic liberation of women. Nigerian women sustain homes, farms, markets, and communities despite systemic discrimination and exclusion. The Purple Economy will expand access to finance, education, land ownership, healthcare, technology, and entrepreneurship for women, ensuring that they become central drivers of national productivity and growth.
Third is the Blue Economy — built around the enormous potential of our rivers, coastlines, and aquatic resources, particularly in the Niger Delta and other water-rich regions. The Blue Economy will harness waterways for transportation, clean energy, fishing, agriculture, environmental restoration, and industrial development while protecting communities whose lives depend on these ecosystems.
Finally, we embrace the Green Economy — a bold transition away from environmentally destructive systems toward renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, climate-conscious industrialization, and ecological protection. The Green Economy will not only help save our environment but position Nigeria as a leader in the global transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable, and prosperous future.
Today, we declare an end to the failed Black Economy — the corrupt economic order built on greed, avarice, environmental destruction, exploitation, insecurity, and endless theft of public wealth. The future belongs to an economy that serves the people, protects the planet, and guarantees prosperity with dignity for all Nigerians.
Lastly, August has become a historic and defining month in the life of our party, its leadership, and the revolutionary movement for the liberation of Nigeria. It was on August 3rd that I was arrested in Lagos for planning the #RevolutionNow nationwide mass action. Yet, despite arrests, intimidation, and repression, on August 5th, the #RevolutionNow protests erupted across Nigeria, becoming one of the largest waves of resistance witnessed in decades.
It was also in August 2018 that our revolutionary party, the African Action Congress (AAC), was birthed as a platform for the oppressed masses and a vehicle for genuine political transformation. Then came August 2024, another watershed moment in our national history, when Nigerians rose across the country in the #EndBadGovernance uprising against hunger, corruption, insecurity, and state brutality.
History is speaking to us again.
This year, on August 5th, we shall declare a Nationwide State of Resistance against tyranny, oppression, corruption, exploitation, and the destruction of our future. Nigerians must once again rise peacefully, courageously, and collectively to reclaim the country from those who have turned governance into organized cruelty against the people.
Be ready. The struggle continues. Victory is certain.
Just imagine waking up on January 17, 2027, with the AAC leading in all elections as we take this country from glory to glory.
The struggle continues. Victory is certain.
Aluta Continua! Victoria Ascerta!
Thank you, and onward to the New Nigeria!
A speech not written for the comfort of the corrupt elite, but for the awakening of the oppressed masses. A speech about resistance, revolution, justice, dignity, and the birth of a new Nigeria.
I will never support the LAWFARE being waged against former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai. @elrufai
Let the courts uphold the rule of law by granting him bail and ensuring he receives a fair trial. Bail is a constitutional right not a tool for punishment or intimidation.
Using bail as a means of caging Nigerians is unjust, unlawful, and unacceptable. It is a practice we must all reject, regardless of who is involved.
Anyone justifying mass murder simply because @realDonaldTrump believes the world is his playground should brace themselves for a world of resistance.
Power without accountability always meets opposition. History has shown that when leaders overreach, people organize, mobilize, and push back.
Heads of state rely on confidentiality to negotiate, explore options, and avoid embarrassing each other publicly. By broadcasting Emmanuel Macron’s private message, Donald Trump has signalled to the world that private conversations with him are not really private.
That’s a massive deterrent for anyone considering real talks with him in the future. Now, the top leadership of most important nations will increasingly think twice about engaging with Trump, who has a pattern of exposing private chats. This will have serious implications for global diplomacy, and the fallout isn’t just going to be personally damaging for Trump. Countries will start bypassing him, sending lower-level envoys, or moving sensitive talks to forums where Trump has no control, which will erode U.S. leverage in negotiations because people won’t believe anything shared in confidence will stay that way.
Please anywhere you see post of Late Venerable Edwin Achi’s family in captivity, I beg you in the Name of God, RETWEET it.
It’s the least we can do for the innocent family.
It breaks my heart every day to know they are still begging for their lives in the hands of the terrorists 💔💔😰😰👏🏾
Other neighbors in the community remained silent because they were afraid of the first neighbor. Instead, they criticized the second neighbor for not being fair to his children.
A tyrant in the neighborhood."
I wrote this piece to chatgpt and the screenshot is the AI analysis
"Some time ago, I had a neighbor who lived with his three adult sons. He always encouraged them to embrace justice, equity, and fairness, and things seemed to be going well between him and his sons.
The sons of the first neighbor forcefully broke into the second neighbor’s house and took him away, locking him in an underground cell.
Afterwards, the first neighbor rented out the second neighbor’s property and collected the money. To him, that was justice, fairness, and equity
