Obi, Atiku Donated Outcome Of 2023 Elections Even Before Voting – Soyinka



Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said that the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, and that of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, failed to win the presidential election because they donated the outcome, even before the voting.

He noted that the ballot tally accurately reflected what happens when a political party splits itself in two, especially so critically close to an election.

Soyinka made the remarks on Saturday in a statement titled, “THE CAPE TOWN RE-ENTRY”, and made it available to the New Telegraph.

The statement read in part: “The mistake we all continue to make is our insistence on regarding the recent Nigerian elections as an adversarial thriller. The contrary is the truth. The ballot tally accurately reflected what happens when a political party splits itself in two, especially so critically close to an election. What promised to be a spectacular contest is transformed into a Feast of Voluntary Donation of the spoils of war.

“That, however, is not always the ultimate destination – the re-gifting may continue, prodded by a sudden surge of regret. There remains, lurking in the background, a far more potent beneficiary. In this case, we easily recall it as the unregistered but loudly canvassed IPP – the Interim People’s Party, usually to be found in bed with the military.

‘The notorious Datti interview, menacing, intimidating and unambiguous, sets the scene for such re-entry. Then, history repeats itself over and over again, as currently manifested along the West African sub-region. The “call to arms” is made literal by those whose trade is precisely that of arms.”

He added that barring such abrupt “patriotic intervention”, however, “the last word belongs to the Supreme Court. Until that conclusive hour, wherever and whenever the subject turns to the Nigerian elections, my contribution can be taken for granted in advance: Peter Obi did not win the Nigerian 2023 elections. Jointly with his erstwhile colleague of the PDP, Abubakar Atiku, they donated the outcome, even before the voting.

“Let politicians and their cohorts learn to take responsibility for the consequences of their choices within democratic options.”

They indeed donated it, they had it in the bag but foolishly donated it to Tinubu who collected it with a big smile on his face. Atiku and Obi had 12 million votes but the two fools split it down the middle on either side. What is driving Soyinka so mad was the call by Igbos and their obidient wing for a military coup. A man who put his young life on the line to fight the military would never sit by and watch some headless idiots bring back such monsters in power at his old age.
