Sowore vows drone Defence Minister if elected Nigeria's president in 2027
Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, said on Arise Television's Prime Time Thursday night that if he becomes Nigeria's president in 2027, his Minister of Defence would be a drone. He explained he would establish a central control centre to track terrorists in real time and coordinate operations to neutralize bandits and dismantle criminal networks. Sowore emphasized needing honest, accountable security leaders focused on real protection, not politics, and a military/police force capable of proper strategy. He added that ultimately, solving insecurity requires creating a society where people can find jobs and go to school, so they are not willing tools for criminal elements. The interview occurred as 2027 election positioning intensifies among major candidates including Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
