“I was even expecting Tinubu to be here, but apparently, I am the only presidential candidate standing after the election.

“I ran with kids, great kids. I am of the opinion that we are wasting a lot of talents in this country.”

According to Sowore, sports was an important tool towards uniting Nigerians and generating employment for the youths.
