Activist Omoyele Sowore has stated that he would reject a National Award if offered and would even sue President Bola Tinubu
Sowore made this declaration after the President announced the 2025 Democracy Day National Honours list, which excluded him despite his contributions to Nigeria’s democratic journey.
According to Sowore, receiving the award would be defamatory, and he would sue the President if his name were included.
Many Nigerians had expected Sowore to be among the awardees, given his activism and efforts towards democracy.
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”.
