Omoyele Sowore has disclosed he will run in the 2027 presidential election.

The founder and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) made the disclosure when he appeared as a guest on the Honest Bunch podcast.

"Yes, I will for the 2027 presidential elections. In fact, nominations for the party are out for those who want to contest under the ticket of the party," he said categorically when asked.

This will be the third time the political activist will run for the highest office of the land since his first try in 2019.

Sowore has been a huge critic of the All Progressives Congress (APC), initially led by former President Muhammadu Buhari and under President Bola Tinubu.

He had, in a previous interview, vowed to unseat President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election while promising to address Nigeria’s electricity crisis and insecurity if elected.

He said his ambition to lead the country remains alive, stressing that, unlike many politicians who emerge only during election periods, he remains consistently engaged in socio-political advocacy.

According to him, fixing Nigeria’s power sector would be a central pillar of his administration, describing electricity as the backbone of economic transformation.

Sowore, who founded the online investigative platform Sahara Reporters, argued that reliable power supply would stimulate industrial growth, create jobs and help address the country’s security challenges.

“The whole idea of energy is what will bring about an industrial revolution in this country. If we get power right, we can tackle unemployment, boost GDP and address insecurity,” he said.
