Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has officially emerged as the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) ahead of the 2027 general election.

Sowore secured the party’s ticket during the AAC presidential primary held on Tuesday in Abuja, where delegates and party leaders unanimously endorsed his candidacy.

Following the announcement, he was presented with the party’s flag as supporters and members of the party celebrated his emergence with loud cheers and applause at the venue.

Speaking after accepting the nomination, Sowore stated that the AAC was established with the vision of creating a “new Nigeria,” while emphasizing the party’s commitment to tackling corruption, insecurity, poor governance, and the rising economic challenges facing Nigerians.

He also appreciated delegates from different parts of the country for their dedication, sacrifice, and continued belief in the ideals of the party.

The primary drew AAC members and delegates nationwide as political parties continue to intensify preparations ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Sowore’s arrival at the venue was welcomed by supporters who praised his long-standing activism and outspoken stance on governance, accountability, and social justice in Nigeria.

Before the primary election, Sowore had already confirmed his intention to contest the presidency again during an interview on Politics Today on Channels Television.

According to him, Nigeria needs a complete break from what he described as the “same failed political class.”

When asked whether he would be running in 2027, Sowore responded, “Yes. We have our party primaries next week.”

Despite expressing confidence ahead of the exercise, he noted at the time that the final decision would still rest in the hands of delegates and party members participating in the party’s primary election process.

Traditional weddings are a magnificent display of heritage, but when a designer successfully bridges the gap between age-old customs and high-fashion style, the result is nothing short of breathtaking. This is what the newest inspiration of wedding gowns from Florence by Ester achieves beautifully, reinventing the classic Eastern Nigerian bride look for the modern woman.

The luxury of an Igbo bride’s attire was measured using the classic double wrapper and blouse silhouette. This modern design still maintains the traditional aspect of this culture while elevating its look to a whole new level. The top forms the center of attraction with the beadwork done on it in various blues.

The real charm in the design comes from the brilliant inclusion of coral accents strategically dotted around the waist area. This is such an ingenious way to play homage to classic coral bead designs incorporated in actual attire that it results in a majestic look.

A fashionable dress deserves an equally fabulous presentation, and the design team did not disappoint. Tagele created a perfectly beautiful gele that combines both structured and artistic elements, featuring an amazing balance of pleats and folds to frame the face.

For the sophisticated bride who would never settle for anything less than her traditions combined with modernity, this is the perfect solution. It shows that respecting your traditions doesn’t mean neglecting fashion trends of today.

Red is not simply a color but a strong statement made by the person wearing it. A designer who manages to encapsulate the idea of feminine boldness and turn it into something wearable has managed to make an incredible impression on the fashion industry. And this is exactly what Finiee Couture have accomplished with their new masterpiece, capturing fashion lovers completely.

The garment in question is a striking avant-garde gown that perfectly balances structural brilliance with delicate fantasy. The first thing one notices when looking at this outfit is the exquisitely fitted bodice with a deep plunging neckline. The upper part of the dress flatters the feminine body in all its glory with a glossy finish.

The gown transitions into an explosion of a sculpted, flamboyant garden of flowers made up of three dimensional petals.It is amazing how a perfectly fitted mermaid shaped bodice can effortlessly transition into such a textured and beautiful finale.

What turns this dress into a work of art worthy of being called high fashion is the structural detailing on the shoulders of the dress. The delicate branches protrude upwards into thin air, and they are capped off with red leaves floating in the air.
