Despite the attendance of numerous well-known politicians, Omoyele Sowore has provided an explanation for why he did not attend a recent protest that was planned by members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Shortly after the incident, the activist and former presidential candidate spoke to reporters, explaining that he did not attend the demonstration because he was not invited, rather than because he was uninterested in the concerns that were being brought up. Sowore asserts that political alliances and initiatives should be founded on well-defined ideals rather than just political expediency.
