The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has congratulated Spain following its victory over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, expressing confidence that President Bola Tinubu would similarly be defeated in the 2027 general election.
Sowore made the remark in a post on his verified X account shortly after Spain defeated defending champions Argentina 1-0 to lift the World Cup trophy on Sunday.
The victory earned Spain its second FIFA World Cup title, 16 years after winning its maiden championship in South Africa in 2010.
Reacting to the outcome, Sowore said the result aligned with his earlier prediction and likened Spain’s triumph to what he believes will happen in Nigeria’s next presidential election.
“It happened as I predicted it. The World Cup final I foretold… came to pass. Spain defeats Argentina.
“The same way we will defeat Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Congrats, Spain,” he wrote.
Sowore, who has consistently criticised the Tinubu administration, is expected to contest the 2027 presidential election under the platform of the African Action Congress.
