Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore on Friday said his rival, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, is not the change Nigeria needs adding that he doesn’t see the latter as a threat in 2023.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, monitored by Quest Times, Sowore said Obi was part of the old system that has crippled the nation’s fortunes.
Peter Obi is also running for President in 2023 on the platform of the Labour Party after dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in May.

On the reason why the Labour Party candidate is not a threat to him, Sowore opined; “Peter Obi is part of the old system that I’ve always fought.”
“I understand where he is coming from.
“It is 1999 repeated – Nigeria wants to change, some young people are genuinely interested in change, a different direction.
“And then they are presented with somebody who worked for the establishment; somebody who has been in PDP, APGA, come back to PDP, Labour Party. I don’t see Peter Obi as a threat. He is part of the old system. He is not my kind of progressive,” he added.
