The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, says its operatives have rescued nine pregnant women from a b@by factory in Abuja.
Five governorship candidates of the African Action Congress (AAC) have disowned the party’s presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, alleging that he is undemocratic and inexperienced to lead the country.
The governorship candidates are: Iboro Robert Oru, Akwa Ibom; Aliyu Ahmed, Kwara state; Ray Ken, Enugu state; Mojeed Kehinde Okedara, Oyo state and Aliyu Adamu, Gombe State.
Robert, who spoke on behalf of the other candidates, explained that Sowore had shown himself to be undemocratic by doubling as the presidential candidate, and Chairman of the party, thereby disallowing opportunities for inclusivity
He said: “As gubernatorial candidates and committed members of the African Action Congress party, in the past six months, we have come to see and have expressed reservations about the readiness, leadership and attitude of our presidential candidate, Omoleye Sowore, who also doubles as the Chairman of our party.
As a presidential candidate, against our advice of inclusiveness in party/team building and consolidating statewide structures, it is apparent he is not in the race and now clear his basic political inexperience and counterproductive divide-and-rule leadership style is NOT what Nigeria and Nigerians need at this moment of national healing nor will it lead us and indeed the party towards any socio-political or electoral win.
“We therefore have decided not to back Omoleye Sowore or support his candidacy for President
