Activist and presidential candidate under the African Action Congress party, Omoyele Sowore, has declared that he would appoint a drone as his minister of defence if he became Nigeria’s president.

He made the statement during a live interview on Arise TV on Thursday.

“If I become Nigeria’s president tomorrow, my minister of defence will be a drone. That’s how much I believe in technology,” Sowore said.

The AAC flagbearer argued that Nigeria’s security crisis required an urgent technological overhaul, saying the country needed equipment, technology, and “honest leaders and supervisors and officers” to tackle the challenge.
