Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, says despite recent attempts by security agencies to clamp down on his social media accounts, he will continue to criticise the President Bola Tinubu-led government.

Sowore made this known on Sunday in an X post.

Daily Trust had reported how the Department of State Services (DSS) wrote a letter to X, formerly known as Twitter, demanding the immediate removal of Sowore’s account within 24 hours.

The letter from B. Bamigboye, representing the DSS addressed to the Chairman and CEO of X Corporation, also demanded the immediate removal of a tweet made by Sowore on August 25, 2025.

The agency said Sowore could cause unrest through the tweet in which he used an unprintable term against Tinubu.

Reacting, Sowore argued that the action is “unconstitutional” and amounts to “a desecration of national dignity.”

While maintaining that the DSS move to pressure social media platforms into silencing him was an attempt to “export national disgrace to the US,” he insisted that such measures would not stop his campaign against President Tinubu’s administration.

“The struggle continues ceaselessly with or without a Twitter account, with or without Facebook, and whether I am in jail or outside of it. The struggle continues,” Sowore said.
