The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, says the country is not united because it has foundational problems that need addressing.
Sowore stated this at the weekend, at a town hall series for presidential candidates organised by Arise TV and Centre for Democracy and Development, (CDD).
The AAC presidential candidate said Nigeria did not have a right foundation from the period it got its independence in 1960. According to him, “We have foundational problems, which we finished discussing – those things that divided us”.
“We never got it right from the beginning. What is going to unite Nigeria is to solve the foundational problems – it is constitutional. They (citizens) must find identity in that document (constitution); they must know where they belong. They must have a right, as a matter of right, to exit if they find it to be a bad marriage. You can’t force people together by creating ministries.
Sowore also added that women must rise to take their place in governance.
