Speaking on the decision of the merger, Sowore said it was an easy decision to make as both political parties shared the same ideological views and perspectives that will help foster developmental change for Nigerians.

Sowore said:
“We formed this alliance for one purpose: to overthrow and take down the evil system of operations in Nigeria that is fast sinking the ship of Nigeria. Both parties, AAC and PRP, have several similarities beginning from the formation to the founding fathers."
Sowore says merger with PRP historic
As reported by Punch, Sowore described the PRP as a political party built on the foundation of radicalism, a trait he confirmed they both share.
He stated that the supporters of the PRP gathered to witness the historic moment were the true members and not factional according to contrary views.
The pragmatic Sowore further made the announcement public on his social media handle while describing the merger as a historic alliance.
He said:
"A historic day in Nigeria, @aacparty and authentic People’s Redemption Party (PRP) commence alliance in Abuja. Alliance for total liberation of Nigeria."
In his remark, Abdulmajid Dauda, the factional chairman of the party said the presidential candidate of the party (Kola Abiola) will soon meet his doom despite INEC's recognition of his candidacy.
Dauda said:
“We are in court regarding the authentic leadership of the party. And I can assure you that the court will rule in our favour.”
Sowore makes huge claim about Peter Obi's presidential ambition
In another development, Omoyele Sowore says Peter Obi's political ambition would have been in ruins if not for him.
Sowore said it was through his help that the Labour Party and Peter Obi were saved from legal battles.
According to him, he also ensured that Obi was never impeached by lawmakers of the Anambra state House of Assembly twice.
