African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has said there will be no office of the First Lady if he becomes President in 2027.
Sowore said this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Tonight on Thursday, arguing that the position was not created by the Nigerian Constitution.
He said his election as president would not affect his marriage but his wife would not occupy an official office as First Lady.
“There is no office of First Lady in the Nigerian Constitution. Becoming the president will not abolish my marriage, but I will not have the office of First Lady,” he said.
He said women would still have a voice in his administration, but argued that maintaining an office for the president’s wife amounted to spending public funds on a position that was not constitutionally established.
