Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has been dragged on social media for his remarks on the supporters of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Prof Soyinka, in a statement titled, “Media responsibility,’’ on Tuesday, had said he warned the LP flag-bearer on “excesses” of his supporters, otherwise known as ‘Obidients’.

“My rejection of fascism is nothing new. On three occasions, I was able to send a message to Peter Obi that if he lost the election, it would be his followers who lost it for him.

See this hypocrite

Prof wole Soyinka has refused to answer every question AriseTV asked him. He is such a hypocrite. He is yet to say what Datti Ahmed said that’s wrong or inciting. You are okay with sowere #Revolutionnow but you have problem with Datti asking for constitution to be followed.

Soyinka is still talking. Lol! Reasonable Nigerians stopped listening to him in 2015. We don’t know what he said and we don’t care.

Wole Soyinka is among the privileged class so I don’t expect him to say anything positive. He has never at any point in time been a voice to look up to in terms of speaking against the injustice going on in the country.

He should not talk down on our struggles.

Wole Soyinka is in bed with Tinubu.

Simple.

That’s why he never talks when Tinubu and his thugs mess up.

He only finds his voice when it touches his faves.

Nobody gives a hoot about Soyinka.

This was the same fraud that sold Buhari and was wonderfully silent through the chaos Buhari orchestrated, now the werey wants to open his mouth.

It is only idiots that still take his utterances seriously. His judgement is trash.

Before and during the elections, was just wondering why Wole Soyinka never said anything, now he’s probably CORNfully contented, hence this irrelevant outbursts, very unfortunate.

Nonsense!!! Soyinka should just go and rest. He has only one vote like others. No one is more citizen than all of us in this country.
