I will take definitive legal action for defamation if I was given National Award – Sowore
Popular socio-political activist, Omoyele Sowore, has stated that he would have rejected and taken legal action against President Bola Tinubu if he had been included in the list of recipients for the 2025 Democracy Day National Honours.
The official list, released on Thursday, features 102 Nigerians recognized for their contributions to the country’s democratic development.
While some believe Sowore deserved to be among the honorees, he made it clear in a Facebook post on Friday that he would have declined the award and sued the president for defamation.
He wrote, “If I were mistakenly included by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his “National Award” list, I would not only reject and denounce the award but also take definitive legal action for defamation”.
