Soyinka has in the past few days criticized the vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed and the ‘Obidients’ describing the movement as one of the most repulsive, off-putting concoctions he ever encountered in any political arena, for which he was condemned and called many names.
Charly Boy who supported Peter Obi of the Labour Party during the 2023 elections joined the conversation by taking to Twitter on Saturday morning to say he has lost the respect he has for Soyinka.
He tweeted;
The kin respect I had for dis man, was almost the kind of respect I had for my stainless father, The Socrates of the Supreme Court. It has finally dawned on me that Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was.
Look at a man many Nigerians put on such high pedestal reducing himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians. What a f..king big shame
