Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore says there is nothing like a political coalition in Nigeria ahead of next year’s general elections.

Speaking during an interview on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television on Monday, Sowore described the ‘coalition’ as interest groups who want to grab power.

He faulted the antecedents of the personalities who are in the opposition coalition.

According to him, the politicians that made up the ‘coalition’ were the same people that brought Nigeria to where it is today.

“You always throw these questions at me. Why are you not in ADC? Why are you not in the opposition coalition? And I told you that these are just interest groups and persons who are interested in power.

“The real coalition that needs to happen, even the 2015 coalition we are talking about, wasn’t just the measure of those political parties that made it happen.

“It was just that the Nigerian people were tired of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at that time and decided that they would chase them out of power,” he said.
