Sowore Says He Will Not Join Atiku and Peter Obi’s Coalition
Omoyele Sowore, the convener of the Take-it-Back Movement, has made it clear he wants nothing to do with the proposed alliance between former presidential hopefuls Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
Speaking on Arise TV’s Politics Today, Sowore said he has no plans to align with the Social Democratic Party or any coalition that includes the usual political faces. He stressed that his focus remains on building a movement with ordinary Nigerians, not recycling failed alliances.
“I’m not joining any coalition,” he said. “The kind of coalition they formed in 2013 and 2015 gave us the APC, and now they want to repeat the same play in 2025. That’s not the path to real change.”
Sowore argued that partnering with the same political actors responsible for Nigeria’s problems would only harm the people further.
“The coalition we need is one made up of the oppressed. I will never join a group made up of those who helped destroy the country. I’m not interested in the SDP or in political games that toy with the future of Nigerians.”
Meanwhile, Atiku, Obi, and former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai have started talks aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in 2027. Atiku spoke about the plan during a press conference hosted by a group of concerned political leaders and stakeholders.
He cautioned the current government against placing personal power above national interest, warning that ignoring the principles of democracy and federalism could push Nigeria into a dangerous political crisis.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
