Omoyele Sowore, the AAC’s presidential candidate, promises that if elected, his administration will prioritise education and make it free for all students.
Sowore said that free education was one of his party’s primary campaign promises while answering questions on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics. He responded that the strategy is for “every level” when pressed for more information. The cash is available. I keep telling Nigerians this, and I say it knowing how they run the country’s economy.
He asserted that the money that had been stolen from the nation’s coffers over the previous 16 years was “enough to fund free education in this country or to have supported it for 50 years or 100 years ahead of now.”
He claims that Nigeria is falling behind other oil-producing nations, especially the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
If elected, he has pledged to decentralise the power industry, claiming that this will provide roughly 24,000 megawatts of electricity in four years as part of his ambitions for Nigeria.

Sowore also claimed the country’s 1999 Constitution is “fraudulent,” blaming most of Nigeria’s problems on it. “If you vote for me, you are voting for that pledge to replace the fraudulent constitution,” he said.
“They provide free education for everybody. They even pay people to get married and we all started with the same oil that we are selling,” the activist-turned-politician said.
“But what we have been doing in Nigeria is corporate welfare and individual powerful people welfare.”
“With 24, 000 megawatts of electricity in four years, you would be creating nothing less than one to four million jobs,” Sowore explained.
“The private sector taking it over with stolen money is not working,” the 51-year-old said, claiming that “the privatisation thing is a scam. It is still Nigeria’s money stolen by them. ”
