14. From Ballot to Revolution: AAC and the 2023 elections ft. Kunle Wizeman Ajayi

14. From Ballot to Revolution: AAC and the 2023 elections ft. Kunle Wizeman Ajayi

This week, we spoke with Kunle Wizeman Ajayi (@AjayiWizeman), former Lagos chair of the African Action Congress (AAC), about the AAC's ideology, 'structures', and electoral prospects.

We also talked through some of the possible limitations of the AAC's strategy as well as the party's plans to respond not only to the 'obidient wave', but also to the more established obstacles: APC and PDP.

One annoying issue with the recording (at least the first 10 minutes or so) is that the the mic kept picking up the vibration from Kunle's phone, as messages from AAC activists rolled in -- our sincere apologies. And special thanks to one of our day-one comrades, Commander Matrix, who recorded the disclaimer you'll hear in the intro.

Enjoy. And, also...
