The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has described Peter Obi’s Obidient movement as one of the worst political scams in Nigerian history, accusing the presidential candidate’s supporters of abandoning principles they once held dear.
Sowore made the remarks in reaction to criticism of Obi from former campaign spokesperson Ndi Kato, who purportedly thought the presidential contender had a serious leadership problem.
Sowore questioned why people who had long backed Obi were now endorsing the same charges he said he had made about the politician in a post on X.
He wrote: “Apart from Buhari’s political mass deception and Tinubu’s scam and con artistry and his prowess in political manipulations, this Obidient project, too, has to be one of the biggest political scams ever pulled off in Nigeria’s political history!”

He also cited philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer’s statement that truth passes through three stages: ridicule, violent opposition and eventual acceptance.
Sowore suggested that the criticism now coming from people who once supported Obi reflected the final stage of that process, as he sees it.
Political analyst Isaac Fayose has called on Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), to unite with the NDC to defeat the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
Fayose made the call in response to the purported assault on Sowore and members of his campaign crew in Ekiti State
Citing the AAC candidate’s repeated attacks on the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, he expressed his lack of sympathy with Sowore over the incident.
Fayose claims that Sowore and other opposition leaders share a political adversary in the APC-led government of President Bola Tinubu.
In a video he shared on his Facebook page, Fayose said, “instead of attacking Peter Obi, you can see now that we have a bigger enemy. APC led by President Bola Tinubu is the enemy of our country.
“They are the ones destroying our democracy, they are the ones killing our democracy. We need to come together to fight them.
“You are busy attacking Peter Obi and now you have been attacked. You can see.
“When they did it to us in Benue, Plateau and other places, you were looking. You think you are the actor but now you are in the hospital. Democracy in Nigeria is gone.
“I don’t feel sorry for you. Leave Obi alone let us concentrate on the real enemy of the people which is APC. Let us join hands to chase them away”.
