Human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential hopeful, Omoyele Sowore, has outlined what his administration would prioritise immediately if elected president in 2027, promising swift action on electricity, security, education and healthcare.

Speaking during a recent interview, Sowore said Nigeria’s challenges require urgent and simultaneous interventions rather than gradual reforms.

Sowore Promises Immediate Reforms

According to the AAC leader, his administration would begin addressing key national issues from the first day in office.

“I’ll start growing electricity on the first day, we’ll be fighting to ensure that this security problem is resolved immediately, using technology, using medium and long-term strategies,” he said.

He added that education and healthcare funding would also commence immediately.

“We are going to start funding education on the first day, we are going to start funding health care, we are fixing our roads, starting from the first day,” Sowore stated.

Rejects Celebration of First 100 Days

The former presidential candidate also criticised the tradition of celebrating a government’s first 100 days in office.

According to him, public officials should be focused on delivering results rather than marking milestones.

“You are not going to see me. In fact, if anybody puts a newspaper advert celebrating my 100 days in office, I’ll find the person and make sure you never do that nonsense again,” he said.

Sowore added that any member of his cabinet involved in such celebrations would lose their position.

“And if you are in my cabinet, you are fired on that day,” he stated.

Calls for Multiple Solutions

Sowore argued that Nigeria’s problems cannot be solved through a single policy or programme.

He maintained that his administration would pursue several reforms simultaneously because citizens are already facing severe hardship.

“That means you don’t have work if you are waiting for 100 days before counting achievements. People are already dying before you are elected into office,” he said.

The activist concluded that a combination of solutions, rather than one major intervention, would be necessary to tackle Nigeria’s economic and social challenges.
