In a statement, Sowore challenged politicians to organize and mobilize support based on their ideas and platforms, rather than relying on political structures controlled by influential figures. He said, 'If their ideas are so compelling, let them organize. If their platforms are so popular, let them mobilize. If their politics is so powerful, let them build.' His remarks highlight concerns about the influence of money and political godfathers in Nigerian politics.
