Forget What People Will Say And Join The Coalition - Deji Adeyanju Tells Omoyele Sowore

Deji Adeyanju, the Nigerian lawyer and activist, has sent out a message to Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress party's presidential candidate.

Adeyanju urged Omoyele Sowore to join the coalition movement in order to unseat the ruling All Progress Congress.

 In a post shared on his X handle this morning, Adeyanju wrote; ‘’Dear Egbon @YeleSowore,

I know you are different and unlike the thieving Nigerian politicians but please consider joining the coalition sir. Forget about what will people say about your long lasting principles and ideological values, etc. Extraordinary circumstances calls for extraordinary measures. 

You will earn the permanent respect and admiration of all Nigerians if you make such a painful sacrifice. Politics is different from morality and activism; it’s a game of numbers. 

Let me also say that even in churches, there are witches and wizards. Everyone already know that you are uncompromising and different and you have nothing to prove to critics who will never like you anyway because of their support for their preferred candidates. Just consider the idea of joining the coalition sir. 

Respect and love always even if you don’t join.''
