Political commentator Isaac Fayose reacts to a reported attack on African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore and members of his campaign team in Ekiti State by urging Sowore to align with other opposition parties. Fayose frames the episode as a reason for greater solidarity ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, arguing that opposition figures should work together against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Across the reports, Fayose’s core message is consistent: he says he does not feel sympathy for Sowore, and he points to Sowore’s past criticism of opposition figures as part of the reasoning. He instead calls on opposition politicians to focus on what he describes as their shared political opponent—an APC-led administration under President Bola Tinubu. One outlet adds that opposition unity is needed because similar incidents have occurred in different parts of the country, while collective responses have been limited. Another outlet largely repeats the same account and wording style, emphasizing the call to “join us fight APC.”
