Omoyele Sowore criticizes Seyi Tinubu colloquium

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has criticized the Seyi Tinubu Colloquium, an event held for the son of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. Sowore questioned the necessity of the elaborate gathering and the attendance of prominent figures, suggesting the event lacked a basis in genuine public service or intellectual contribution.

Sowore characterized the colloquium as an example of a growing culture of sycophancy and excessive praise for individuals connected to political power. He argued that the public attention should instead be focused on holding the Tinubu administration accountable for national challenges, including rising living costs, unemployment, and insecurity.
