Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has dismissed talks of a political coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the movement as a gathering of individuals driven by personal interests and the quest for power.
Speaking during an interview on Monday, Sowore criticised the backgrounds of key figures involved in the opposition alliance, arguing that they were among those responsible for Nigeria’s current challenges.
According to him, the so-called coalition does not represent the genuine interests of Nigerians but rather consists of politicians seeking political control.
“You always throw these questions at me. Why are you not in ADC? Why are you not in the opposition coalition? And I told you that these are just interest groups and persons who are interested in power.
“The real coalition that needs to happen, even the 2015 coalition we are talking about, wasn’t just the measure of those political parties that made it happen.
“It was just that the Nigerian people were tired of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at that time and decided that they would chase them out of power,” he said.
