The rights activist was one of the participants in the maiden edition of the Abuja International Marathon.
However, addressing journalists in Abuja, Sowore said: “This is the first Abuja marathon, I participated and I ran longer than I expected. I expected that the Minister of FCT would be here.
“I was even expecting Tinubu to be here, but apparently, I am the only presidential candidate standing after the election.
“I ran with kids, great kids. I am of the opinion that we are wasting a lot of talents in this country.”
Sowore pointed out that sports was an important tool towards uniting Nigerians and generating employment for the youths.
