In my tweet yesterday on Prof. Wole Soyinka’s comment on Datti Baba Ahmed’s own comments about the 2023 presidential election,I said WS is a principled fighter for justice and a phenomenon “that unlettered and uncultured people may not fully understand in an age of lazy social media in which many don’t read or think deeply”.

I want to apologize FOR THE PHRASE IN QUOTATION MARKS which, on a second thought, can be misconstrued as a harsh judgment on citizens who are hurting from the outcome of the elections.

That was not my intention. While we all bear responsibility for the words we choose to use (and I have the utmost respect for Prof Soyinka and Dr. Datti-Ahmed), I caution again, however, that there will always be different voices with different beliefs in a democracy.

These voices are NOT illegitimate simply because we disagree with them or they do not agree either with our political preferences or with whatever manner in which we choose to express our views. This applies across the board to the supporters of ALL the leading candidates.

This is a difficult time for our country, but I hope we can still be civil and measured even as we may disagree.

He should stop dickriding, he is old already

Soyinka can defend himself

Coward, do they deserve an apology? Was he wrong with what he said?

Do I need to apologize if I said devil is a liar?
Anybody that can insult who is old to be his/her father or mother is unlettered, uncultured and unlearned, period.

I stood with those words, that's the best adjectives for them.

Social media never forgets Kingsley Moghalu will feel the impact later.

Gullible OBIdients had threatened this one as well as usual, he has no choice than to retract his words, but deep down we all know over 95% of Obi supporters are unlettered and uncultured. All they do is to pounce on you whenever you disagree with their lord and saviour Peter Obi.
