The presidential candidate of the Labour party in the just concluded presidential election in the country, Mr Peter Obi has paid a courtesy visit to Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka.
Recall that Soyinka’s post election comment against Obi’s running mate Datti generated a lot of reactions from obidients fans on social media.
Obidents, a dubbed description for the supporters of Peter Obi, had dragged Playwright Soyinka over his comment condemning the Vice Presidential candidate of LP, Datti Baba-Ahmed.
However, Obi, through his Twitter handle on Sunday, lauded Soyinka over his achievement on the world stage and his struggle for a better Nigeria.
According to Obi, Soyinka’s fight for justice would never be ignored.
He explained that the visit was to erase the needless misconceptions concerning Soyinka and the Obidients movement.
“I cherished this Sunday’s visit, which was intended to erase the needless misconceptions about the relationship between the great icon and the Obidient family”, he posted.
Obi, who came third behind the President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25th Presidential election, is currently challenging the polls at the Tribunal billed to commence on Monday, 9th May, 2023.
