“Don’t Ask Me Such A Condescending Question” — Sowore Clashes With Seun Okinbaloye [VIDEO]

Drama unfolded on live television on Friday when the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, clashed with Channels Television host Seun Okinbaloye during a broadcast of Politics Today regarding the recent assault on him in Ekiti State.

The heated exchange erupted when the anchor asked the politician whether his actions might have provoked the armed assailants who attacked him at a restaurant in Ado-Ekiti.

Visibly incensed by the line of questioning, Sowore pushed back immediately, warning the television host against asking what he termed a condescending question.

“Don’t ask me such a condescending question. I was attacked, I was beaten. You are asking me if I provoked them? That is victim blaming,” Sowore stated.

Taken aback by the intense reaction, Okinbaloye attempted to diffuse the situation, clarifying that his intent was simply to establish a full accounting of the sequence of events.

However, the political activist maintained that the query was insensitive, accusing mainstream media outlets of attempting to minimize the severity of political violence and state complicity.

“I came here to tell you that I was attacked and the police seized the CCTV to cover it up, and you are asking me if I provoked thugs? Is that journalism?” Sowore questioned.

The fiery two-minute exchange quickly trended across major social media platforms, sparking intense debate among viewers and media commentators.

While a section of commentators commended Sowore for rejecting perceived victim-blaming, others defended the show anchor, arguing that probing questions are standard interviewing practice.

Video clips of the confrontation have gathered thousands of shares and comments across X and Facebook, keeping public attention focused on the fallout from the Ado-Ekiti incident.

Sowore was targeted by armed men in Ado-Ekiti on Friday and has consistently accused both the Ekiti State Police Command and the Department of State Services (DSS) of withholding CCTV evidence to protect the attackers.
