Sowore steps down as AAC chairman after securing party’s presidential ticket

Omoyele Sowore

The African Action Congress has announced the resignation of human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, as the party’s National Chairman.

The party disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday shortly after Sowore emerged as the AAC presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections during the party’s primaries in Abuja.

According to the statement, Samuel Ajeigbe has been appointed as the new National Chairman of the party.

“Omoyele Sowore has officially stepped down as the National Chairman of the African Action Congress.

The party hereby welcomes Samuel Ajeigbe as the new National Chairman of our great party,” the statement read.

The development marks a major leadership transition within the AAC as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 elections.

Sowore’s resignation came hours after he secured the party’s presidential ticket through a unanimous endorsement by delegates and party leaders during the primaries held in the Federal Capital Territory.
