(DDM) – Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has boldly declared that he will campaign anywhere in Nigeria and challenged anyone to stop him, asserting they would never succeed.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that Sowore made the statement on Monday, March 16, 2026, while discussing Nigeria’s political landscape and the influence of regional leaders on opposition movements.
He stated, “I will go anywhere in Nigeria to campaign, and I want to see him come and stop me, and I’m sure he will never try,” highlighting his determination to freely engage with citizens across the country.
According to Sowore, the remarks underscore his confidence in participating in political activities without fear of intimidation, regardless of threats from powerful individuals.
The activist also criticized the psychological tactics used by some political figures to discourage public participation.
He explained that certain leaders create fear to prevent others from campaigning or expressing themselves openly, even in areas where they lack real authority.
Sowore emphasized that these strategies are designed to silence voices and obstruct democratic engagement rather than reflect actual political control.
During the discussion, he stressed the importance of public rallies and citizen interaction as vital components of Nigeria’s democratic process.
He noted that political campaigns should be inclusive and accessible, allowing citizens to interact freely with candidates and activists.
His remarks reinforce the principle that fear should not dictate political action and that leaders must remain accountable through visible and transparent participation.
Observers say that Sowore’s statement highlights the value of courage and openness in Nigeria’s political system, particularly during election periods.
Social media and news platforms have widely shared his comments, sparking debates about leadership credibility, public influence, and the importance of fearless engagement in a healthy democracy.
Sowore’s message signals a push for greater political visibility and challenges attempts to suppress civic participation, encouraging citizens and activists to exercise their rights without intimidation.
