Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress’ presidential candidate, has stated that even if he does not succeed in winning the 2023 elections, he is content with the fact that he has given young people and the next generation hope for a better Nigeria.
Our correspondent caught Sowore making this statement on News Central’s Politics HQ on Thursday night.
Sowore, who identified as both a pessimist and an optimist, claimed that whether or not he ends up in control, he is positive about the future because the youth have woken up and would not accept less from government.

Sowore said, “What is more important is my interest in making this country work. Politics should be a service. My kind of optimism is different. I expect the worst and hope for the best. I’m an optimist for the future. Even if we don’t get to be in charge directly, new generation would emerge that would not accept this kind of condition of existence and that we would have inspired them.
“Whatever little contribution we can give or any sacrifice we can make now that will even make people in power think twice sometimes when they make decisions or policies are not bad for me. The fact that we are seeing younger generation of persons who are getting radicalised as well and promising that this system will catch hell one day if it continues this way is for me an optimistic engagement.”
