The African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has pledged to introduce a N500,000 monthly minimum wage for Nigerian workers if elected President.
Speaking in an interview with The Independent, Sowore equally stated that his administration would provide 24-hour electricity, and make education free and accessible at all levels.
The activist also promised to construct one million public mixed-income homes and reform tenancy laws to reduce the burden of advance rent payments.
He was outlining the AAC’s agenda for the 2027 elections.
“Our agenda is revolutionary justice and equal rights. Nigeria is enormously wealthy, yet Nigerians have been deliberately impoverished through corruption, incompetence and an economic system designed to reward a tiny political and business elite. We intend to change that fundamentally.
“We are proposing a N500,000 monthly living minimum wage because Nigerian workers cannot continue receiving starvation wages while senators, governors and political appointees consume millions every month.
“We will deliver 24-hour electricity because no serious industrial economy can operate permanently on generators. Education will be free and accessible at all levels, and no Nigerian child should be denied education because his or her parents are poor,” he said.
Sowore of AAC will be contesting against incumbent President, Bola Tinubu of All Progressive Congress (APC), former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi, a former Anambra governor from NDC, among others.
