When did PDP Sowunmi declare for presidency?
Sowunmi made the comment while reacting to the chances of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar contesting in the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the PDP. He said:
"Anyone who wants to run for the presidency of Nigeria must first of all determine to do so. It is the right of every Nigerian, just like it is my right, and he should also look for the platform. Seun, who told you I am not contesting for president in 2027?"
Why I am better than Sowore, Obi - Sowunmi
He was further asked to clarify his statement of contesting the 2027 presidential election. The PDP chieftain said he had examined the kind of energy that Sowore put into his campaign in the last presidential election and also reviewed the ideas of Peter Obi. He said he has more potential than the two of them. His statement reads:
"I may. I have looked at the kind of politics of the country, men like Sowore, my brother and the energy that he put in. The kinds of ideas that Peter Obi put in, and I think I bring a lot more than that. I feel that we must be thinking about pragmatic solutions to problems. If you cannot give up to the level that the man is giving in terms of policy direction, I don't think you should be."

Why I joined the 2027 presidential race
Sowunmi further noted that he had better ideas and potential to be Nigerian president, adding that several people around him had confirmed that to him. His comment reads:
"The important thing is how we can collaborate to move our country forward, but if we get to the point that everybody now thinks their ambition is superior to our ideas, probably we will have to tell them, let's go there, it is beautiful"
