African Action Congress

AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS (AAC) PRESS RELEASE DATE: April 13, 2026 RISE NOW OR REMAIN VICTIMS: NIGERIANS MUST DEMAND AN END TO STATE KILLINGS AND HARDSHIP. The African Action Congress (AAC) strongly condemns the latest airstrike by the Nigerian Air Force on "Jilli Market", located between Gubio and Geidam Local Government Areas of Borno and Yobe States. This tragic incident, which reportedly claimed over 100 lives of innocent civilians and left many others injured, is yet another painful reminder of the reckless and unaccountable use of force by the Nigerian state against its own people. From 2017 till date, under the watch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, Nigeria has witnessed over 19 accidental airstrikes on civilian populations. No wonder a Canadian judge ruled the APC as a terrorist organization. A few of these incidents where the Nigerian military claimed to have mistakenly bombed civilian population are: 1. The Devastating Tudun Biri drone strike on December 3, 2023. This strike by the Nigerian Armed Forces left over 85 civilians dead. 2. On December 25, 2024, a Nigerian Air Force airstrike, part of Operation Fasan Yamma against terrorists in Silame LGA of Sokoto state mistakenly hit the villages of Gidan Bisa and Rumtuwa, resulting in at least 10–13 civilian deaths and several injuries. 3. The January 2025 bombing of Tungar Kara village, located in the Maradun/Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State where 16 - 20 civilians where reportedly killed, with several others injured. Time and again, these incidents are followed by weak justifications, hollow promises of investigations, and ultimately, zero accountability. This cycle of impunity must end. It is unacceptable that while terrorists continue to overrun communities, slaughter military personnel, and abduct citizens with alarming ease, the same state that has failed to decisively confront these threats has turned its firepower on defenseless civilians. The AAC asserts that this APC/Tinubu led government has lost its legitimacy to enjoy the public trust or acceptance they are paying to get. It deserves nothing short of a revolution, a level of resistance that forces the system to work for the general good of Nigerians. Infact, with the present level of hardship and insecurity in the country, Nigerians ought to be organizing nationwide protests, on a daily basis. As a revolutionary Political Party with strong democratic ethics, we restate our position - that it is essentially democratic for millions of oppressed Nigerians to take to the streets in a series of lawful demonstrations, demanding the resignation of a failed President and Defence Minister. The AAC sympathizes with the victims and their families. Nigeria cannot continue on this path where the lives of ordinary citizens are treated as expendable. We strongly encourage citizens to demand accountability, justice, and a complete overhaul of a security architecture that has proven both ineffective and dangerous, beginning with the removal of a grossly incompetent Commander In Chief and his Defence Minister.

AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS (AAC) PRESS RELEASE DATE: April 5, 2026 AAC CONDEMNS WIKE’S THREAT AGAINST JOURNALIST SEUN OKINBALOYE, DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ARREST AND PROSECUTION The African Action Congress (AAC) condemns in the strongest possible terms the threat issued by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, against journalist, producer, and broadcaster Seun Okinbaloye. Such a threat directed at a media professional is reckless, dangerous, and utterly unacceptable in any society that claims to be governed by the rule of law. It strikes at the very heart of press freedom and democratic accountability. The AAC states that this development cannot be dismissed as an isolated outburst. Rather, it reflects a troubling pattern of violent rhetoric and intimidation long associated with Wike in the public domain. Over the years, multiple media reports have carried allegations linking him to threats against officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission and to a broader climate of violence in Rivers State. It is a matter of public record that while serving as Governor of Rivers State, Wike was captured in widely circulated audio recordings allegedly threatening to kill INEC officials who refused to cooperate in electoral malpractice. These revelations, alongside other reports of violence and political intimidation, underscore the urgent need for accountability and a thorough, independent investigation into his conduct—past and present. For these reasons, the AAC calls on all relevant security agencies to act immediately and without fear or favor. No public official, regardless of status or political influence, should be allowed to threaten journalists and evade accountability. The party therefore demands the immediate arrest and prosecution of Nyesom Wike over this alleged threat and any other credible allegations of criminal conduct that may be established through lawful investigation. Nigeria’s democracy cannot survive in an environment where those in positions of power openly menace the press and intimidate citizens with impunity. The protection of journalists and the preservation of civil liberties must remain non-negotiable pillars of a just society. SIGNED: Rex I. Elanu National Publicity Secretary African Action Congress (AAC)

Happy Easter! To all our Christian brothers and sisters across Nigeria and the diaspora.

PRESS STATEMENT 2nd April, 2026 NB: For immediate release Tinubu's $6 Billion Loan: A Government That Funds Itself While Nigerians Die The African Action Congress (AAC) strongly condemns the continued failure of the Tinubu administration to address the total collapse of security across Nigeria. At a time when communities are being overrun by bandits, terrorists, and criminal gangs, and innocent Nigerians are slaughtered daily, this government has chosen to prioritize borrowing billions of dollars over protecting lives. Rather than demonstrate urgency in confronting the worsening insecurity that has turned large parts of the country into killing fields, the Tinubu government hastily secured approval for a staggering $6 billion loan from a compliant, rubber-stamp National Assembly. This reckless move exposes the regime’s priority of indebting the nation while abandoning its fundamental responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians. The AAC finds it unacceptable that a government which cannot guarantee basic security continues to plunge the country deeper into debt, with no clear accountability or tangible results to justify such borrowing. This is not governance, it is irresponsibility and impunity on a catastrophic scale. We therefore call on Nigerians to wake up, stop tolerating this level of government impunity and organize towards mass actions that can cause a fundamental shift from our life threatening realities. A government that cannot protect its citizens has lost its legitimacy. The time has come for citizens to organize, resist, and demand a system that works for us, not against us. The AAC remains committed to the struggle for a just, secure, and truly democratic Nigeria. AAC - Take It Back! Signed: Rex I. Elanu National Publicity Secretary African Action Congress (AAC)

2027: Beyond “What Must Go”- What Are We Replacing It With? - Written by Towolawi Jamiu In 2023, after coming from the EndSars protest, Nigerians became more agitated and passionate for genuine change but still unconsciously followed the same pattern of mobilizing around politicians that were part of those who created the same current system...

PRESS STATEMENT 30/03/2026 NB: For Immediate Release “If Nigerians Fail to Revolt Against a Terrorist-Sympathetic Government, They May Not Live to See the Elections That Promise Change” The African Action Congress (AAC) strongly condemns the gruesome killings of innocent Nigerians in Angwan Rukuba area of Jos, Plateau state, which occurred yesterday Palm Sunday, a day that should symbolize peace and hope. This latest bloodshed is yet another damning indictment of a failed state and a government that has abdicated its most fundamental responsibility to protect lives and property. The continued massacre of citizens across Nigeria has become normalized under this Tinubu led APC regime that shows neither urgency nor sincerity in confronting the crisis of insecurity. Nigeria is under siege, and those in power have proven either incapable or unwilling to stop the carnage. No wonder Nigeria's Defence Minister considers it more important to grace an APC Party convention, than to coordinate urgent security responses across our bleeding country. From Plateau to Borno, from Zamfara to Kwara and the rest of the Middle Belt, the pattern is the same: mass killings, empty condemnations, and zero accountability. This is not governance; this is organized neglect. The ravaging insecurity in Nigeria reinforces a painful truth, that if Nigerians continue to wait passively for elections as the sole means of change, many may not live to witness that future. A nation where citizens are slaughtered with impunity cannot afford the luxury of political complacency. AAC therefore calls on Nigerians to rise beyond mourning and outrage. We must begin to organize to revolt against a system that facilitates our annihilation. We must consider demanding the resignation of leaders who have failed us this badly, and collectively push for the total transformation of this broken system. The struggle for a safe and just Nigeria cannot be postponed to election cycles which are manipulated by the same political class that benefits from our suffering. Democracy is not limited to elections alone, the will of the people is the main ingredient for democracy, and can be expressed via elections or even civil disobedience. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and stand in solidarity with the people of Plateau State in this moment of grief. But beyond condolences, we insist on collective, uncompromising and revolutionary actions. Nigeria cannot continue like this. Signed: Rex I. Elanu National Publicity Secretary, African Action Congress (AAC)

PRESS STATEMENT 18/03/2026 For Immediate Release Maiduguri And Other Bombings: President Tinubu and CDS Musa Must Resign Now! The African Action Congress (AAC) strongly condemns the recent bombing in Maiduguri, Borno State, that cost 23 lives and got over a hundred people injured.This horrifying tragedy further confirms the utter failure of the Nigerian state to protect its citizens. We mourn the lives lost and stand in solidarity with the victims, their families, and all residents of Maiduguri who continue to live under the shadow of violence, fear, and abandonment. However, beyond mourning, we must confront a hard truth: these repeated attacks are not isolated incidents, they are the inevitable outcomes of a system that has collapsed, a government that has replaced its most basic responsibility with the act of persecuting government critics, and a bunch of corrupt rulers who are more interested in the absolute control and manipulation of elections. For years, Nigerians have been told to be patient, to endure, to pray, and to wait for elections as the pathway to change. Yet, insecurity has only deepened, hardship has intensified, and the ruling class has continued to recycle itself through fraudulent political processes that offer no real hope for transformation. The bombing in Maiduguri is not just a security failure, it is a stark warning that if we continue on this path of passivity and misplaced faith in a broken system, the violence will spread, the suffering will multiply, and no part of this country will escape the horror. The 2027 elections, as presently constituted, offer Nigerians nothing but a continuation of misery. The same political actors, the same failed institutions, and the same anti-people policies cannot produce a different outcome. Waiting for 2027 without building real, organized resistance is a dangerous illusion. The AAC calls on Nigerians to rise beyond grief and anger, and to begin the urgent task of collective action. We must organize in our communities, workplaces, campuses, and streets, to reject the politics of oppression and demand the Nigeria we deserve; and most importantly, to join revolutionary political organizations with clear ideology like the AAC. Real change will not come from the ballot alone, it will come from sustained, courageous, and organized pressure from the people themselves. In Conclusions, we call for the immediate resignations of failed President Bola Tinubu, and his "Social Media" Minister of Defence Christopher Musa! It is crystal clear that these elements in charge of national security are only playing golf with the lives of Nigerians from North to South. They care only about their own personal businesses using government coffers as ATM. We cannot continue like this! Signed: Rex I. Elanu National Publicity Secretary, African Action Congress (AAC)

Victory for AAC National Chairman @sowore, as the Court Strikes Out Disgraced Former IGP Egbetokun’s Cyberbullying Case Against him, Orders Immediate Return Of Passport. A Federal High Court has struck out the controversial cyberbullying case filed against activist and publisher Omoyele Sowore by the disgraced former Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun. The case, which was brought under Nigeria’s controversial Cybercrime Act, was dismissed after Sowore’s legal team successfully argued that the charges lacked merit. The court also ordered the immediate return of Sowore’s international passport, effectively ending the legal restriction placed on the activist during the pendency of the case. The cyberbullying charges had drawn widespread criticism from civil rights groups and pro-democracy activists, who described the prosecution as an abuse of state power aimed at silencing a prominent government critic. Sowore, a former presidential candidate and long-time human rights campaigner, had repeatedly insisted that the case was politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of using the Cybercrime Act to intimidate journalists, activists, and opposition voices. With the case now struck out, the ruling is being seen by supporters as a major legal setback for those who attempted to weaponize the law against dissenting voices in Nigeria. #JoinAAC #TakeItBack #RevolutionNow
