KELLY HANSOME™▲♕

Dear @Donald_Duke thank you for describing me as a “voice of conscience” and acknowledging that I say the things others in politics are too “civil” to say, even when they know those things are true in today’s @vanguardngrnews But let me clear up your uncertainty and this is important for posterity, I AM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA IN 2027. In fact, INEC’s final list released has Omoyele @Sowore as the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress @aacparty just as it has @DonaldDuke as the candidate of the @PrpNigeria . Perhaps what makes my candidacy difficult for some members of Nigeria’s political establishment (including yourself) to understand is that I am not running for office in the conventional sense of seeking power for its privileges, appointments or access to the national treasury. We, in the @aacparty are running to fundamentally change Nigeria. We are running to dismantle the rotten political order that has kept our people poor while enriching a tiny ruling class. We are running for equal rights, revolutionary justice, a living wage, free and quality education, decent healthcare, security, electricity, housing and a country that finally works for its people. And that is precisely why we will not disappear into an “opposition coalition” whose principal ambition is merely to replace Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT with another member of the same establishment. Essentially replacing a thief with a burglar. So, my dear Mr. Former Gov. @DonaldDuke, there should be no confusion, yes, I am a voice of conscience, yes, but that voice is also on the ballot. See you on the campaign trail! By the way, consider yourself lucky that you arrived late to the presidential debate at the Nigerian Bar Association @NigBarAssoc Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt. I would have cleared your doubts by now. Ask @PeterObi and @ChibuikeAmaechi they will tell you how serious of a candidate @sowore is #Sowore2027 #TakeItBack

Same old song: “Sowore is the voice of conscience, but he is not running for office.” This is their new campaign to dampen the spirit of Nigerians who have moved away from their prebendal politics. But at least you admit one thing: Sowore will tell the truth, and he won’t sugarcoat it just to make you guys feel good about the ruination of Nigeria that you all partook in. #Sowore2027 #SoworeIsComing

Today is a double celebration in our family! Just as we celebrate our son Komi’s 17th birthday, today also marks our 22nd wedding anniversary. Mamike joined us to make our day. Once again, happy birthday again to our incredible Komi, and happy 22nd anniversary to us!

I totally condemn the unprovoked attack on pensioners peacefully protesting at the Lagos State House of Assembly earlier today. It is bad enough that these senior citizens are being denied their legitimate post-retirement entitlements after giving years of their lives in service. To then unleash tear gas on them for peacefully demanding what is rightfully theirs is cruel, reckless, and completely unacceptable. Teargassing elderly citizens in these circumstances is equivalent to pushing them into a gas chamber. Many of these pensioners may already be vulnerable to the dangerous effects of chemical fumes, and such an assault is grave; it could even have fatal consequences. The officers responsible for this brutal attack must be identified, arrested, investigated, and prosecuted. Where the evidence supports it, they should face charges such as attempted murder, reflecting the seriousness of deliberately exposing vulnerable senior citizens to potentially lethal harm. Our pensioners deserve their entitlements, dignity, and respect, not brutality! #TakeItBack #RevolutionNow #Sowore2027

WE HAVE GOOD NEWS! Ms. Zainab Sadiq is finally free from the grip of repression! Her freedom came after the conscientious intervention and determined pressure of Nigerians at home and abroad, particularly principled voices such as Femi Falana, SAN; Musikilu Mojeed of the International Press Institute (IPI); human rights lawyer @DejiAdeyanju; @amnesty International; @TIBmovement activists; journalists; civil society organizations; and countless conscientious Nigerians who refused to remain silent. To everyone who raised their voice, made calls, demanded justice, and stood firmly against repression: THANK YOU! When people of conscience unite and stand against injustice, repression can be defeated. Welcome back, Zainab! #TakeItBack #RevolutionNow
