Publisher and political activist, Omoyele Sowore, has declared that he would file a defamation lawsuit if President Bola Tinubu’s administration were to include his name in any national honours list.
The outspoken convener of the #RevolutionNow movement and former presidential candidate under the African Action Congress (AAC) made the remarks on Friday through his social media platforms.
His comments appear to be a response to speculation surrounding potential recipients of national awards expected to be announced in 2025.
“If I were mistakenly included by Tinubu on his ‘National Award’ list, I would not only reject and denounce the award but also take definitive legal action for defamation,” Sowore wrote.
Sowore, a persistent critic of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government, has frequently voiced his disapproval of President Tinubu’s policies and leadership.
He has accused the administration of fostering corruption, suppressing civil liberties, and failing to provide good governance.
The activist’s stance adds to a series of recent public criticisms targeting the presidency, highlighting ongoing divisions between opposition figures and the federal government.
