Ayoyinka Oni, the Lagos State Chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC), has taken to social media to urge Nigerians to reject what he describes as the “criminal merger” taking place among the country’s old political class.

In a post shared widely on Thursday via his X handle, Oni wrote, “Tomorrow we decamp. Not alone, together with the masses, for the masses and to the masses.”

He criticized the attention given to reports of a small group of defectors aligning with a major party, stating, “I don’t know why you are bothered about some useless crooks not more than 100 decamping to a party that has ruined your life for over 10 years. You should be happy the two criminal parties which were always one are merging.”

Oni, known for his activism and grassroots mobilization, emphasized the AAC’s commitment to a mass-oriented political revolution. He urged citizens to join the AAC in a collective effort to dismantle entrenched political structures, saying, “You better join the party for the masses #AACParty and let us bury our oppressors all together starting from the day we are ready.”

In a call for strategic numbers and mass action, he added, “250 million Nigerians are too much, one million per state is enough, trust me, they would run.”
