We are not casting blames on anybody, but Sowore’s struggle is not sectional, he believes in one united Nigeria emancipation, people are afraid of the oppressive nature of the government of the day.
” The fact remains that his political party, AAC is not strong enough, it has not been in government at any time ,people were being scared to come out as his guarantors,we now rely on the ‘party of the entire masses of Nigeria’ to bail us out of the present tyranny”
