Now That PBAT Was Embarrassed In a Mosque In Abuja, He’s Condemning Violence During Campaigns–Sowore

Human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his position on peaceful and issue-based political campaigns following an incident at a mosque in Abuja.

According to a post on his official X account on 13th November 2026, he questioned why the President was now emphasising peaceful campaigns after reportedly being confronted and embarrassed at a mosque.

In the post, Sowore wrote: “Oh, so now that you, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have been confronted and embarrassed in a mosque today in Abuja, you have suddenly discovered that political campaigns should be issue-based and devoid of violence?”

He went on to accuse supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being involved in political violence in different parts of the country. He specifically referenced alleged attacks in Osun State during a recent governorship election and demanded to know why the President had not publicly condemned such incidents.

Sowore also recalled the October 30, 2026 attack on his team members in Ado-Ekiti. He alleged that the incident was sponsored by APC operatives and members of the City Boy Movement. He further named some political figures whom he accused of involvement and called for an independent investigation.

The activist also mentioned an alleged attack on an NDC town hall meeting in Lagos where Peter Obi was expected to address supporters, as well as incidents of political violence he said had occurred in Enugu and Delta states.

Sowore argued that calls for peaceful campaigns should apply consistently, rather than becoming important only when political hostility affects the President or his associates.
