Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has said former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, are not opposition figures. Naija News reports that Sowore, during an interview with journalists in Abuja on the purported defection of Mohammed, said the Governor had always been part of the ‘corruption’ establishment and never an opposition person. According to the Human Rights Activist, Mohammed’s tenure as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was marred by corruption and worse than that of the current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. Sowore maintained that there is no difference among the All Progressives Congress (APC), the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He said, “I disagree with you; Bala Mohammed was never an opposition person. How can you call Bala Mohammed, who is a thief like Tinubu, like Wike, the opposition? How can thieves oppose thieves? It is not possible. “This is what I always tell you people: you just use all these adjectives to qualify criminals. That is why I could never have joined them. “I was the first person to warn you that the ADC and the PDP that all of them are the same, it is just different appellations. There is no difference between APC, ADC and PDP. “How can you call Bala Mohammed who is a thief like Bola Tinubu, like Nyesom Wike an opposition? “Do you know that Bala Mohammed used to be the Minister of FCT? He did worse than Wike he was arrested and prosecuted by the Federal High Court alongside his son for corruption and you are calling him opposition.” Sowore also rejected claims that Peter Obi represents an alternative political force, stressing that his current political alliances with members of the ADC contradict his earlier criticism. Sowore further claimed that Peter Obi had misled supporters during the 2023 election cycle. He said, “Peter Obi is an opposition according to you, but he opposes nothing, nobody, according to us, because we know him. “If Peter Obi is an opposition, he would never have found himself in a party where Abubakar Malami is the main sponsor, in a party where Nasir El-Rufai is a member, in a party where the people he referred to some three years ago as ‘structure of criminality’ are. “Peter Obi is a guy who came and packaged himself, lied to you and made all of you fall for it. “You should be apologising to those of us who already told you since 2022 that he was fooling you.”
