I would have rejected Tinubu’s national honour, says Sowore.
Former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has said he would have taken legal action against President Bola Tinubu had it been he was named among those he recently conferred with national honours.
President Tinubu on Thursday conferred late Kudirat Abiola with a posthumous honour of Commander of the Federal Republic, while Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka was named Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger.
The President also honoured Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, Niger Delta environmental activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and other members of the Ogoni Nine.
Others on the list included many who fought against the military regime of the late General Sani Abacha to return Nigeria to democratic rule.
The honours were announced while the President was addressing a joint session of the National Assembly, in celebration of this year’s June 12 Democracy Day.
