“I’ll Start Fixing Electricity, Security, Education and Healthcare From Day One” – Sowore Unveils 2027 Agenda

• Omoyele Sowore says he would begin tackling electricity, insecurity, education, and healthcare challenges immediately if elected president in 2027.
• He also rejected the culture of celebrating a government’s first 100 days, insisting that leaders should start delivering results from day one.

Human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential hopeful, Omoyele Sowore, has outlined what he says would be the immediate priorities of his administration if elected president in 2027, promising swift action on electricity, security, education, and healthcare.

Speaking on his plans for the country, Sowore said his government would begin tackling Nigeria’s major challenges from the very first day in office rather than waiting months before implementing reforms.

According to him, improving electricity supply would be one of his top priorities, alongside addressing insecurity through the use of technology and both short and long-term strategies.

“I’ll start growing electricity on the first day, we’ll be fighting to ensure that this security problem is resolved immediately, you know, using technology, using medium and long-term, whatever strategy we can use.

“We are going to start funding education on the first day, we are going to start funding health care, we are fixing our rules, starting from the first day.”

Sowore also dismissed the tradition of celebrating a president’s first 100 days in office, insisting that public officials should begin working immediately after assuming office.

“You are not going to see me on the, in fact, if anybody puts a newspaper advert celebrating my 100 days in office, I’ll find the person, hunt the person down, and make sure that you never do that nonsense again.

“And if you are in my cabinet, you are fired on that day. That means you don’t have work for you to wait for 100 days before you are counting 100 days. People are already dying before they, you know, you are elected into office.”

He argued that Nigeria’s problems require multiple solutions implemented simultaneously rather than a gradual approach.

“So it’s going to be all of these starting at the same time because no one single solution can solve Nigeria’s problem. That would be a set of solutions,” he said.

His remarks have since generated reactions online as discussions around the 2027 presidential election continue to gain momentum.
