A faction of the African Alliance Congress (AAC) led by its former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore on Monday clashed with that of the party led by Leonard Ezenwa.

The Sowore faction alleged imposition of leadership on the party which he (Sowore) claimed was formed by him in 2018.

He told the representative of the party who came out to attend to them that “I was the one who registered this party in 2018, I collected the certificate it is still with me in your office at the conference room.

“You now see the party viable to give to another person because this is what you used to do, and nobody challenges you.

“When we went to court, the people who are involved did not do anything”.

He (Sowore) accused INEC and the Federal Government of meddling in the activities of the party.

The Ezenwa faction, meanwhile, carried banners with inscriptions saying Sowore was expelled from the party due to anti-party activities.

Ezenwa also accused Sowore of siphoning the party’s fund.
