...When he was sidelined as Vice President following Yar Adua's illness

The Nobel laureate has proven over time and under successive administrations that he stands on the side of justice and equity

He's always been a social critic and what he said wasn't unsual of him, neither was it his first attack on public officials that are perceived to have used their office for self aggrandizement

The diatribe against him by the First Lady is by all mean uncalled for

Soyinka protested against Turai when she was perceived to have seized control of the apparatus of government at the expense of GEJ.

It is clearly on record that PEJ is perceived to have been involved in the current Rivers State crisis with Bipi confirming it through his utterances.

What I expect her PR advisor to do is to address the issue and not attack the person of Prof. Wole Soyinka who has EARNED his stripes internationally

He did not support GEJ .he supported the constitution and constitutionality.

bloggernaija: He did not support GEJ .he supported the constitution and constitutionality.

Well that was what they thought they were doing...but that act is coming to hurt them badly.

GEJ is a classic example of a good Slave turning into a bad Master

Lmao! Soyinka is a bitter man. If Gej had given him appointment or contract like how IBB gave him, he would have been Gej best friend. If he supported Gej genuinely then, why haven't he criticized tinubu who have made lagos and southwest his personal property? If he is an activist like he claims and not a politician, why did he not criticize amaechi for unconstitutional sacking local government chairman. Tinubu is his best friend now because, he made his son a commisioner in ogun state. If he is an activist why did he not condemn tinubu and A.C.N when they were fighting dirty with fashola before 2011 elections? If he is an activist like he claims why did he work for IBB a man that was a dictator to the core. If Gej gives this man an appointment patience will be his best friend. Soyinka, continue to chop rivers money while it lasts, because there will be no political fight again after this one ,for to look for the highes bidder and start your political activism again.
