*Brands the Nobel Laureate hater of truth, No. 1 cultist in Nigeria
A Warri based group, Dynamic Social Reformation and Orientation Initiative, DSROI has described Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka as hater of truth and founder of cultism in Nigeria who is masquerading as a symbol of justice.
The group which is apparently miffed by statements made by the Nobel Laureate during the 2nd South-South Economic Summit held at Asaba, Delta State regarding Chief James Ibori judicial travail in London, described Prof. Soyinka’s comment as “ignorance of the dynamics of law and issues before the court”.
In a statement titled, “Soyinka’s Merry Dance” DSROI posited that Chief Ibori never pleaded guilty to corruption charges and was never found guilty, even as they noted that the former two time Delta State governor only pleaded guilty to money laundering charges.
The statement which was signed by the group’s Acting Secretary, Barr Edwin Okoro averred that the former Delta State governor “is just a victim of international power politics, who was branded as a threat to Western business interests and roped in with money laundry charges and convicted on that ground in a bid to put him under check.”
According to the group, “Prof. Soyinka had forgotten so soon that it was his Pirate Confraternity that gave rise to predators in our Ivory towers and institutions of government where cultism rules the roost.”
They sought to know why the revered poet decided to eulogize a likely guilty Chief M.K.O Mbiola and rubbish “an innocent Chief Ibori” before the world.
It would be recalled that Prof. Wole Soyinka while delivering a paper titled “How we can Accomplish Nigeria’s Mission” at the 2nd South-South Economic Summit held at Asaba, the Delta State capital branded Nigeria as a nation covered with shame. According to him, “it took an external court of justice of the former colonial masters to finally put an end to the costly shenanigans of another of your brother governors, one who held anti-corruption forces at bay, led them in a merry dance all the way to Dubai until he was plucked out of his imagined sanctuary.”
