The African Action Congress (AAC) has disowned human rights activist and founder of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, as its presidential standard-bearer. The political party alleged that Omoyele Sowore had been hoodwinking the public and collecting money from unsuspecting victims. This revelation was made public by national chairman of the AAC Dr Leonard Nzenwa in a press release on Wednesday 7 September 2022, in Abuja. Dr Nzenwa stated that:
"Since June 02, 2022 Omoyele Sowere, commenced working with some forces within and outside the party with the aim to disarray the party, stating that, “it wouldn’t see the light of the day even as the party remains civil, responsible and law-abiding. Many mistook this elevated approach of ours as being weak and wondered why we did not adopt the crude and thuggish mannerism of the perpetual lawbreaker and out-of-favour character that cyberstalk everybody in the country for cheap popularity and monetary gains.
Fact is, his expulsion from the party with his ills is for this same reason and will do the party no good to embrace such despicable behaviour from an individual that nobody would want to relate with. In our resolve, therefore, to remain civil and law-abiding in the face of the onslaught from enemies of our great party, we set out first during this period to establish the genuineness of the court judgment which he claimed gave him victory which was a big lie.

The second thing we did was to counter him and his troop legitimately in court which is still ongoing, and they are literally scampering for safety now.
Following from above we now directed effort at ensuring that his name was removed as our great party’s presidential candidate, this we also achieved.
Our next push is to ensure that his name is delisted as our great party’s National Chairman and transmit all our candidates that emerged from our nationwide primaries. We are not relenting on this end.All Leaders and State Chairmen are therefore directed to be on high alert as they can be called upon at any time. Finally, we wish to thank all party faithful(s) for their prayers and support”
There is yet no refuting or acknowledgment of these claims by the party from erstwhile presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
