Activist politician and former African Action Congress, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore on Thursday, said he rejected the offer to work with former president, Goodluck Jonathan. According to him, he rejected the offer due to the caliber of people under Jonathan’s administration.
He disclosed this in an interview on ‘State of the Nation’ with Leadership TV.
“When Goodluck became president, he sent a man to come look for me in Breton with money, but I declined, telling him I cannot work with the people under his administration,” Sowore said.
He explained that he had been close to a friend who was actively involved in challenging the political establishment during the tenure of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
Sowore suggested that Jonathan was the only politician he might have had some level of connection with, but he remained firm in his stance against working with his government.
