Sowore Confronts Tinubu Supporters Over Hardship in Ado-Ekiti

On October 30, 2026, a physical confrontation occurred at Tawakalitu Restaurant in Ado-Ekiti between activist Omoyele Sowore and supporters of President Bola Tinubu. The incident reportedly stemmed from an argument about the economic hardship in Nigeria.

Sowore, who had just criticized the Tinubu administration during a radio interview on MIDAS FM 90.5, confronted members of the PBAT/APC supporters’ group, questioning their continued support for the administration despite the prevailing hunger in the country. The exchange escalated into a physical fight involving both Sowore and the supporters, some of whom were wearing Tinubu-branded campaign attire.

The confrontation resulted in injuries to Sowore and others, leading to conflicting accounts from both sides regarding the events that transpired.
