2027: ‘I’m running for president; I’m voice of conscience - Sowore replies Donald Duke

Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has responded to Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) presidential candidate Donald Duke after the former Cross River State governor said he was unsure whether Sowore was running for office in the 2027 presidential election.

Duke described Sowore as a “voice of conscience,” saying the activist says things some politicians avoid because of political civility.

“Let me talk about Sowore. I like him. I’m not sure Sowore is running for office, with due respect to him, but I see him as a voice of conscience,” Duke said in an interview with the Naija Unfiltered Podcast.

“He says things that some of us, maybe due to civility, won’t say, but they’re real.”

Sowore, however, replied on his social media pages on Tuesday, thanking Duke for describing him as a voice of conscience but insisting that he was contesting the 2027 presidential election.
