The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has announced plans to launch a “Tinubu Must Go” rally in Abuja on Tuesday, calling on supporters to mobilise residents for the protest.

Sowore made the announcement on Monday while addressing supporters at the Federal High Court in Abuja after a hearing in the case instituted against him by the Department of State Services (DSS) over his alleged description of President Bola Tinubu as a criminal.

The activist urged supporters to invite friends, relatives and other residents of the Federal Capital Territory to join the planned rally, saying Nigeria was approaching a revolutionary moment.

“We have a little bit of time left before Tinubu regime becomes a thing of the past. This affliction shall never happen to us the second time,” Sowore said.

He added that the rally would move beyond the court premises into the city, urging residents to turn out in large numbers.

“When we leave here tomorrow, we will enter into the town. Our Tinubu Must Go rally will commence tomorrow. Invite your brothers and friends. Everybody in Abuja, come out tomorrow,” he said.

Sowore also cited what he described as revolutionary movements in France, Spain and other countries, questioning why Nigeria could not experience a similar development.

“Our own time has come and we are ready for them, they will soon be shocked that we are more ready than they are,” he added.

The planned rally comes amid Sowore’s ongoing legal battle with the DSS over his comments about Tinubu. Details of the planned protest, including its route and expected turnout, were not provided in his announcement.
