Abuja, Nigeria – Popular publisher and activist, Omoyele Sowore, don come out dey make noise say if dem include am for Tinubu national honours list, e go sue dem for defamation. Shey you fit imagine? Na wetin dey happen for this country wey we no go fit keep quiet about.
For June 12 Democracy Day, President Bola Tinubu go drop some serious kudos for the likes of late Kudirat Abiola wey receive posthumous honour of Commander of the Federal Republic. Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka too gain Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger. Dem don shine light on the ones wey fight military regime of late General Sani Abacha. Na wetin we sabi wey dem dey call ‘honour’ now.
Sowore, wey no dey hide him mouth whenever e see wetin no dey right, don drop strong statement for social media. E talk say, “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.” (This guy no get shame o, him wan just drag dem enter court)!
Confirm say na serious talk wey dey show how controversy dey follow this award matter. People for social media don dey drag am say wetin happen to Sowore wey be say no bore majority. Some dey wonder why him no dey for that list, say him don do plenty to fight for democracy too.
Na him dey the convener of the #RevolutionNow movement, and as we sabi, e don jam head with the APC government multiple times. For him eyes, Tinubu policy no dey gist anything wey show say Nigeria dey improve; instead, e dey accuse dem of corruption and repression of civil liberties. As dem dey celebrate accomplishments, Prophet Sowore no go rest till e clear say him no dey on their team.
As the tension dey rise over national honours, e be like say as people dey wonder, Sowore dey corner them for this matter well well. Wetin you tink? Na him fit take action if dem call im name? We just dey watch this drama unfold, no forget say dem don release other notable names wey join Kudirat and Wole Soyinka, from Alhaji Balarabe Musa to Ken Saro-Wiwa, all these people don contribute their quota wey no be small.
A wahala wey dey for the air, and e no go sweet if e be say Tinubu dey pick and choose who deserve to shine. Make everybody eye dey shine as we dey look the next step of this saga. Nigeria no gree follow dem waya-waya again. Na wait we dey talk!
