I’ll Sue If Tinubu Lists Me For National Award – Sowore
Popular publisher and activist, Omoyele Sowore, says he would take legal action for defamation if his name is “mistakenly” included in any national honours list released by President Bola Tinubu.
Sowore, who is also the convener of the #RevolutionNow movement and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, made the statement on Friday via his social media handles, in what appeared to be a reaction to ongoing speculation about possible recipients of national awards 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.
A long-time critic of the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government, Sowore has been openly opposed to President Tinubu’s leadership style and policies.
He has on multiple occasions accused the administration of corruption, poor governance, and repression of civil liberties.
