Omoyele Sowore, an AAC presidential candidate, returns to Nigeria from the United States and says he is set to resume his 2027 presidential campaign. The outlets report that he has been away for more than 20 months and is expected to begin campaign activities after arriving in Lagos.
The reports add context about why he left. Vanguard says Sowore left the country citing arrests, detention, travel restrictions and the seizure of his international passport by Nigerian security agencies. Premium Times says he is expected to land at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos before proceeding to Abuja. The Punch describes his return primarily as a resumption of his campaign, without focusing as heavily on the earlier detention-related account.
Across the coverage, the common thread is Sowore’s planned re-engagement with the 2027 race following his US stay, alongside differing emphasis on the circumstances of his departure and the expected route inside Nigeria.
