2027: My Defence Minister will be drones If I become Nigeria’s president – Sowore

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, has vowed to employ the services of drones as his Minister of Defence if he becomes the president of Nigeria in 2027.

Sowore said he would establish a control centre where terrorists would be tracked and neutralized.

Featuring on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Thursday night, Sowore vowed to tackle insecurity head-on by neutralizing bandits through coordinated operations.

He said: “Short-term, we must tackle insecurity head-on by pursuing and neutralizing bandits through coordinated operations, backed by modern equipment, technology, and strong intelligence.

“We need honest, accountable security leaders focused on real protection, not politics or distractions, and a military and police force capable of proper strategy, not misuse of power or trivial arrests.

“A central control system will be established to track threats in real time and respond swiftly to dismantle criminal networks and secure the country.

“If I become the president of Nigeria tomorrow my Minister of Defense would be a drone, that’s how much I believe in technology.

“That drone will fly everywhere, I’m just going to have a control centre where people sit down to track terrorists and liquidate them.

“But ultimately, you must create a society where people can find jobs, go to school, and not be willing tool.”
