Sowore called for the scrapping of the 1999 Constitution and replacing it with a people-made Constitution for the Federal Republic of Nigeria through a Sovereign National Conference immediately followed by a National Referendum, toss the Senate arm of the Nigerian Legislative System, keep the House of Representatives (HOR), and make lawmaking a part-time endeavour, pay Nigerian workers a minimum wage of nothing less than N250,000 monthly.

“Aggressively pursue free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria, release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally and demilitarize the South East.
“All #ENDSARS and political detainees must also be released and compensated, renationalize publicly owned enterprises sold to government officials and cronies, reinstate a corruption-free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation, and multidimensional poverty.”
Sowore demanded the probe of past and present leaders for looting and deposit the recovered funds in a special account to fund education, healthcare, and infrastructure, restructure Nigeria to accommodate its diversity, resource control, decentralization, and regional development.
Calling for an end to banditry, terrorism, and violent crimes in Nigeria, Sowore said the security agencies should be reformed to stop the continuous human rights violations and duplication of security agencies and enhance the physical security of Nigerian citizens.
The former presidential candidate demanded for the establishment of a Special Energy Fund immediately to drive massive, corruption-free power sector development.
He further called for an immediate reconstitution of the Nigerian Electoral Body “to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks appointed to manipulate elections, massive investment in public works and industrialization will help employ Nigeria’s teeming youths, massive shake-up in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generations of judges and judicial officers that continue denying everyday citizens access to real justice, diaspora Voting.
