According to Sowunmi, the decision to contest the presidency should not focus solely on Atiku but rather on individuals with a clear vision for Nigeria’s development.

“Who would have thought that Tinubu, considering his background and history, would be in the villa today? It shows that leadership transcends any one individual,” Sowunmi remarked.

“Atiku hasn’t told me he’s running. I’ve asked him twice, and I’ll ask him once more. If he doesn’t give an answer, that’s it.”

Reflecting on the 2023 elections, Sowunmi recounted his efforts to convince former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, to contest for the presidency under the PDP.

“I traveled across the Southeast, urging PDP members from the region, including His Excellency, Peter Obi. I visited him over five times, encouraging him to purchase the nomination form to gauge the Nigerian people’s support,” he shared.

Although Obi eventually joined the Labour Party without informing him, Sowunmi commended the former governor for bringing the Southeast’s aspirations into national discourse. However, he emphasized that leadership demands more than rhetoric, urging support for candidates based on their ability to deliver tangible results.

Sowunmi explained that the National Opposition Movement Coalition was born out of the urgent need to safeguard Nigeria’s democracy amidst growing concerns about the country’s electoral and governance systems.

He criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for failing to uphold election integrity despite improvements in its guidelines and operational manuals.
