Omoyele Sowore does not do soft Interviews.

That much was clear the moment the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate sat down with Prince Gabriel Okocha on the Before Tomorrow Comes Podcast (BTC Podcast). Over the course of the questions, the Sowore interview addressed some of the most sensitive fault lines in Nigerian politics today, from local power struggles to the road toward the 2027 election.

For a podcast built on accountability journalism and pan-African commentary, this Sowore interview delivered exactly the kind of unfiltered conversation the BTC Podcast audience has come to expect.

The Osun Political Crisis

The BTC Podcast conversation opened with the Osun State political storm, where the fallout between himself and Davido has become a national talking point. Sowore weighed in on what the Osun election reveals about the state’s political direction and the broader implications for Nigeria’s electorate heading into future election cycles.

Abia’s Power Struggle: Otti vs. Ogala

Closer to home for Okocha, whose family hails from Abia State, Sowore addressed the 2027 governorship tension between Governor Alex Otti and Doris Ogala. This part of the interview offered his unfiltered take on who is the better candidate to lead Abia State’s political future, a subject not often covered with this level of directness in mainstream Nigerian political coverage.

The Nnamdi Kanu Case

Few topics carry as much weight in Nigerian political discourse as the Nnamdi Kanu case. Sowore did not dodge it. He laid out his position on the ongoing case with the same directness that has defined his career as an activist turned politician, offering commentary that cuts through much of the noise surrounding the story.

Soludo and the Native Doctors Dispute

Sowore also addressed the controversy surrounding Governor Charles Soludo and the ongoing native doctors dispute in Anambra State, a story that has stirred national debate about tradition, governance, and public order in Southeast Nigeria.

Sowore’s Policy Positions Ahead of 2027

Beyond the personalities and power plays, Sowore used the BTC Podcast platform to lay out his positions on the issues that affect everyday Nigerians:

• Minimum wage and whether current figures reflect economic reality
• Fuel subsidy removal and its lingering effects on the average Nigerian household
• Education and the case for free education for all nigerian students
• Cannabis policy and the case for reform
• Healthcare access and infrastructure gaps
• Free speech protections in an increasingly restrictive political climate
• Anti-corruption independence, and whether Nigeria’s institutions are truly free to act without political interference

Sowore, Peter Obi, and the Road to the 2027 Election

The interview closed on the shape of the opposition heading into the 2027 election. Sowore spoke candidly about Peter Obi’s position in the race, Rotimi Amaechi’s political calculations, and his willingness to debate his opponents. He also addressed questions of electability, and the poor policies of the current administration.

Why This Sowore Interview Matters

What stood out across the entire questions was Sowore’s refusal to soften his answers for the cameras. Whether the subject was a local or a national policy failure, he treated every question with the same weight, a trait that has made him one of the most closely watched voices in Nigeria’s opposition politics ahead of 2027.
