The publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has officially joined the 2023 presidential race.
The activist disclosed his intention to run for the process presidency via a post on his verified Facebook page, on Tuesday.
According to Sahara Reporters, Sowore is expected to contest on the platform of the African Action Congress (AAC).
Recall that the activist, while accusing President Muhammadu Buhari’s government of arresting and slamming fresh charges against him recently, stated that he would soon officially declare his presidential ambition.
In a post on his social media handle, he wrote: “They took me to their detention, when they were tired; they came and call me that I should be going home.
“So I’m heading home now, no reason to worry, we know why this is happening, they are afraid of the future, they are afraid Sowore will declare very soon and become the president of Nigeria; you can’t stop me.”
