Sowore Accuses Tinubu's Aide of Orchestrating Attack

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate for the African Action Congress, has accused Sunday Asefon, an aide to President Bola Tinubu, and Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo, Managing Director of the Federal Housing Authority and Tinubu's son-in-law, of orchestrating an attack against him in Ekiti State. Sowore reported that on October 30, 2026, he and his team were assaulted by suspected political thugs allegedly mobilized by Asefon and Ojo.

He identified Asefon as a former NANS President and noted that Asefon's bodyguard, Ayodeji Akintade Ifeoluwa, was involved in the attack. Sowore stated that Asefon had previously threatened him and called for an immediate investigation by the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies.

Asefon was in Ekiti for a #CityBoys Movement event prior to the attack, and Sowore claims that a meeting was held to plan the assault.
