Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) has noted that the death of Queen Elizabeth II should bring about the end of the Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth, formerly known as British Commonwealth, is a voluntary association of countries around the world that were once part of the British Empire.
Fifty-six countries on six continents make up the Commonwealth.
Sowore posted on social media that if elected Nigerian President in 2023, Nigerians must be able to travel to all other Commonwealth counties without a visa, if the most populous African country will remain part of the Union.
“Don’t mourn the Queen, she didn’t die for you! The death of the Queen should herald the end of the “Commonwealth” #WeCantContinueLikeThis,” he said.
