African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has unveiled part of his 2027 presidential manifesto, proposing the deployment of artificial intelligence to manage Nigeria’s public finances and drone technology to strengthen national defence.
In separate posts shared on his verified X handle on Friday, Sowore said his administration would leverage emerging technologies to tackle corruption, improve transparency and modernise governance if elected president.
The former presidential candidate said artificial intelligence would effectively serve as the country’s “Minister of Finance”, while drones would assume the role of a “Minister of Defence”.
“Sowore2027 will appoint Artificial Intelligence as ‘Minister of Finance’ and a ‘Drone’ as Minister of Defence.
“The AI will eliminate human manipulation, waste, and corruption in public finance by making data-driven, transparent decisions.
“The Drone will redefine national security with modern surveillance, rapid response, precision, and accountability.
“The future of governance is technology, not patronage,” he wrote.
