And the leader of this rogue squad was expelled as far back as 13th May 2019, after being found guilty of misappropriating party funds, gross sabotage, and numerous anti-party activities,\u201d the statement reads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cIt should be clear that this rejoinder is not aimed at replying to a statement written by non-members parading themselves as party leaders. But it is rather a piece to inform the public and members of the press about the situation in the party, which is stable and moving very fine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cAs a matter of education, let it also be known that Sowore occupying the chairmanship position of the party and being its presidential candidate, is not unconstitutional or immoral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThe first Convention held on 6th October 2018 ratified the protem officers of the party as substantive office bearers. The decision came as a result of the circumstance of the party, which was just a few months old, and was getting prepared for the 2019 elections, thus requiring that all hands were on deck to ensure victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cIt is also not immoral as we have seen from cases in the rich political history of our great country. Founding fathers of the country such as Obafemi Awolowo in the Action Group and later in the Unity Party of Nigeria in 1951, Nnamdi Azikwe in the NCNC and later in the Nigeria Peoples Party, were both leaders of their parties and the leading flagbearers of their parties at national elections in the 1950s, 1960s, 1979 and 1983. Also, the political gadfly, Chief Gani Fawehinmi was both the presidential candidate and Chairman of the National Conscience Party (NCP).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThe African Action Congress is a party entrenched in democratic tenets and it has processes and steeped in lessons from our history. At the appropriate time, there shall be a change in the leadership structure by the democratic will of party members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cTo lay the matter to rest, is to ask our friends in the media to disregard this news and to send it to the trash can of history where it belongs. Sowore remains a staunch member of the party, a leader of leaders and a Presidential aspirant in the 2023 elections.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The African Action Congress (AAC) has stated that Omoyele Sowore remains its chairman and presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.
