Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), says he would rely heavily on drone technology as president if elected in 2027.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Thursday night, Sowore said his administration would set up a control centre to track and eliminate terrorists in real time.
He said: “Short-term, we must tackle insecurity head-on by pursuing and neutralizing bandits through coordinated operations, backed by modern equipment, technology, and strong intelligence.
“We need honest, accountable security leaders focused on real protection, not politics or distractions, and a military and police force capable of proper strategy, not misuse of power or trivial arrests.
“A central control system will be established to track threats in real time and respond swiftly to dismantle criminal networks and secure the country.
“If I become the president of Nigeria tomorrow my Minister of Defense would be a drone, that’s how much I believe in technology.
“That drone will fly everywhere, I’m just going to have a control centre where people sit down to track terrorists and liquidate them.
“But ultimately, you must create a society where people can find jobs, go to school, and not be willing tool.”
