“We need a clean break from the despicable past!” he added.
The AAC presidential candidate’s tweet was accompanied by a video clip of three other front-runners for the presidency in 2023: Peter Obi of the Labour Party; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress; and Abubakar Atiku of the People’s Democratic Party.
The text of the message in the video, titled, “Story time: A tale of shapeshifters,” reads, “Nigeria, open your eyes. Same people decamping telling sugar coated stories.
“Selfish interest disguised as National interest. Personal safety over the security of citizens. Nigeria deserves a fresh start. Think third force. Vote wisely.”
Recall that Sowore recently “unvealed” how he assisted Obi in becoming the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
Sowore disclosed this information at a memorial lecture honoring the late human rights advocate and lawyer Chief Gani Fawehinmi in Lagos.
He mentioned that there were calls for Obi to not be presented, which caused the Labour Party to run into trouble when choosing his candidacy.

Sowore, along with activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana, “rose to the situation” by pursuing legal action to defend the LP, according to the AAC candidate.
He said, “When the Labour Party ran into a problem. There was a member of the LP who insisted that the LP could not present the candidacy of Peter Obi. They had a legal problem. We went and obtain judgment in court; from the Court of Appeal, and handed it over to Falana to use it to defend the Labour Party, and by extension, Peter Obi’s candidacy. Yes! I’m just telling you that we’re in the business of saving people.”
Sowore also asserted that he saved Obi from impeachment while he served as the governor of Anambra State.
The initiative to “flush out Obi in Anambra State twice, Sahara Reporters rescued the day,” he claimed, was made. Every day Falana calls me and says, “I don’t know Peter Obi, but we shouldn’t let this injustice stand; no one should be impeached,”
According to Sowore, Obasanjo was then impeaching everyone in Nigeria who was subject to impeachment. Obi was able to finish two terms in office in this way. We are aware of what we are saying when we speak.
“We are saying that we have been standing with the Nigerian people but we don’t have any sense of entitlement,” he added.
