Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has advised his friend, Omoyele Sowore, to consider teaming up with the coalition against President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The coalition yesterday adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the vehicle which they would use to wrestle Tinubu in 2027.
Sowore, a staunch socialist, was the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 election.
In a post on his X handle, Adeyanju reminded Sowore that politics is not morality or activism but a game of numbers.
He said: “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.”
