Wole Soyinka that had the guts to call the Obidient movement a fascist group, is a gunman!

Sangoamadioha1:
Were you even born when this picture was taken. Go arrest am nah.

alsudan:
Useless cultist now forming woke

I don’t bother commenting on good for nothing, available on hire asshooles like Soyinka.



Any sensible person will know Soyinka has been recruited by Thiefnubuu to do a job.

But as OBIdients have buried several hireling before him, latest Monday, the cultist will crawl back to his hole.

No format on planet earth will stop Thiefnubuu from returning the Stolen Mandate. E sure die.

‘Obidients’ Is One Of The Most Repulsive, Off-Putting Concoctions I Ever Encountered In Political Arena –Soyinka

Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka has said the recent attacks against him justify his earlier position that the Labour Party was taking the direction of fascism.

In a statement issued on Friday titled, ‘Fascism On Course’, Soyinka said the “seeds of seeds of incipient fascism in the political arena have evidently matured”.

Musician, Femi Kuti had expressed his dislike for the use of the word ‘Obidients’ to describe the followers of Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

Soyinka said it “is one of the most repulsive, off-putting concoctions I ever encountered in any political arena”.

Soyinka had criticised an attempt made by the vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed to dictate to the Supreme Court regarding the party’s suit challenging the presidential election is unacceptable.

Soyinka during an interview on Arise TV on Wednesday condemned Baba-Ahmed’s statement in an interview in which he said the judgement of the Supreme Court must favour his party.

Baba-Ahmed during an interview on Channels TV on Thursday, March 23, 2023, said Section 134 of the constitution stipulates that the winner of the presidential election must score the highest number of votes and at least 25 per cent each in two-thirds of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Baba-Ahmed also argued that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, who was declared as the ‘President-elect’ did not satisfy the requirement to be declared ‘President-elect,’ stating categorically that there was no president-elect for Nigeria yet because the declared failed to get 25 per cent of the votes in the FCT.

When asked what part of Baba-Ahmed’s statement was unbecoming, Soyinka said, “Nearly the totality, listen, the interviewer asked him several times; he said ‘what will you do if the Supreme Court judgement is against you, if the interpretation which you are offering about the constitutional aspect of this election, if it is against that of the Supreme Court.’”

In his statement on Friday, Soyinka said, “It would appear that a record discharge of toxic sludge from our notorious smut factory is currently clogging the streets and sewers of the Republic of Liars. It goes to prove the point that provoked the avalanche EXACTLY! “

According to the literary icon, “A climate of fear is being generated.”

He continued, “The refusal to entertain corrective criticism, even differing perspectives of the same position has become a badge of honour and certificate of commitment. What is at stake, ultimately is – Truth, and at a most elementary level of social regulation: when you are party to a conflict, you do not attempt to intimidate the arbiter, attempt to dictate the outcome, or impugn, without credible cause, his or her neutrality even before hearing has commenced. That is a ground rule of just proceeding. Short of this, Truth remains permanently elusive.

“The ensuing cacophony has been truly bewildering. It strikes me as a possible ploy to smother recent provocations by other, far more trenchant issues, such as revelations of declarations of a religious war. If so, let it be known that I have long declared war against religious fundamentalism, the nature of which justifies the butchery, kidnapping and enslavement of students in the name of religion. “That aspirant’s alleged gaffe cuts no ice with me. Far more alarming was the grotesque fantasy of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court disguised as a wheelchair, zooming off in space to a secret meeting with other parties of the conflict.

“On its own, that is sufficiently scary. Swiftly followed thereafter by a television tirade of intimidation, it strikes one as more than the mere antics by the mentally deranged. The tactics are familiar: ridicule, incriminate, then intimidate. Objective: undermine the structure of justice.

“Just as a reminder: this writer was not being rhetorical when he declared, on exiting prison detention: Justice is the first condition of humanity.

“The instigating contest – Nigerian Democracy 2023 - has witnessed much that is innovative – largely in the retrogressive vein. Violence and ethnic profiling. “Spiritual” warfare in the shape of sacrificial rams to keep “disloyal” communites under restraint – in short, intimidation yet again! “Easily overlooked however are those missives of violence directed against dissenting voices, real or suspect. Such, for instance, were the virulent attacks and threats to the musician Seun Kuti, his family and iconic music Shrine. His crime consisted of nothing more than declaring the name “Obidient” derogatory to his sense of civic dignity and activist history. Such beginnings – and instances are numerous - have culminated in the open intimidation of the Court of Last Resort, even before proceedings have begun.

“By the way, I do agree with Seun Kuti; ‘Obidients’ is one of the most repulsive, off-putting concoctions I ever encountered in any political arena. Some love it however, and this is what freedom is about. Choice. Taste. Free emotions.

“By contrast, I have no quarrel with “Yes Daddy”. Roman Catholics are used to saying “Yes, Father”. Secularists say “Enh, Baba”. The context and content are what matters, and lies – where established - raise bothersome issues such as Integrity Deficiency.

“Let us remind ourselves of the following: in any adjudication, society finds it unacceptable that a party to the dispute resort to influencing tactics by extra-judicial means – such as bribery. Intimidation and threats are merely the obverse complements of material inducement. Those who fail to appreciate this are entirely free to their existence in an illusory world.”

seanfer:
The first order of the FCT high court stands. What the LP and Abure should have done is to go to a higher court which is appeal court and get stay of execution.
Benin high court can’t over rule the fct high court’s decision.

Wisfem:
They UK are worst in corruption than Nigeria, The only Difference is the dimension in corrupt practices, UK is Built on human Blood and some other inhuman practices which indirectly Provided and is providing all the money needed for development and developing...

superlanny:
I also am a man of pity and would seek the judges be lenient based on the passionate attempt in messing up.

Doesn't still change the fact that if our leaders, Obasanjo and Ekweremadu included, along with the bunch of clueless mofos we have currently past and present, BUILT/BUILD world class facilities and hospitals in a system where every process has a legal backing and accountability for every action.

Unfortunately, UK is not Nigeria where the law is practically abused effortlessly.

9ijaprince:
I have been wondering where Soyinka has been lately. I guess he got struck by unimaginable things that happened in Nigeria lately. The audacity to commit these barbaric acts still baffles me. A governor of a state decided to cut open roads that connect his opponent's strongholds on the eve of election so that elections would not be conducted and not even a statement from the federal government to condemn the terrorism.

Odin13:
Why not post where you read it from

You see why Obi is going down..

Lizzysamuel:
Nigerians come and see ooohhh

Tinibus people finally agreed that their master is a drug lord

SLAP44:
You will still be here talking rubbish after Obi has been sworn in as your President. Peter Obi is unstoppable.

Iamgrey5:
Here is a statement from Seun admitting bais against Tinubu supporters.

He clearly have issues with people who might identify as Tinubu supporters.

He has clearly done that throughout the presidential campaign.

He first posted about Tinubu imaginary bots as if there's no one who will likely vote Tinubu.

He then demoted a mod because he felt he is a Tinubu guy

Now he claims to ban more Tinubu supporters because he feels they are "tribalistic".

BuhariAdvocate:
This man antagonist will really affect his children later.

Corridon:
I could still remember when the DSS are only mentioned in whispers due to the fact that they were revered back then but now they are been mentioned in the same mould as LASTMA, VIO AND Boys scout. What an aberration!

YorubaNiBaba:
Leader of Yoruba’s frontline Socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasanranti, yesterday, told his acting successor, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, that it was illegal to continue to assert that the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, won the February 25 presidential election outside of the person so declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Fasoranti, however, insisted that the organisation, and indeed, the whole world acknowledged that Nigeria now has a president-elect in the person of Bola Tinubu, candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) – a man he further described as a true Yoruba son and national
He also faulted the alleged suspension of the National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi and the National Organising Secretary of the organisation, Abagun Kole Omololu, over their position on a recent comment by a chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, saying the suspension was null and void.
Adebanjo, had in a Commuinique issued after Afenifere’s monthly General Meeting held at his country home in Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State, alleged uncouth activities and unauthorised statements in its name and the constant denigration of the organisation by Ajayi and Abagun, including asserting that Obi won the presidential poll.
But Fasoranti, a frontline educator and Second Republic Commissioner for Finance in Ondo State, in a statement wondered why the two were pronounced guilty and consequently sanctioned even before their appearance before a disciplinary committee.
The statement titled: ‘Afenifere is Law-abiding Organization’ read: “My attention has been drawn to the Communique purportedly issued after a meeting that held on Tuesday, March 27, at Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State. This statement is being issued because of the content of the said document.
“Section 2.02 of the document claims that ‘the results of the lawful votes at the Presidential election available to the Afenifere through credible sources confirm that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, won the said election’.
“Afenifere could not have asserted that someone, other than the person declared by the body duly authorised by the Constitution and other extant laws of the land, is the winner of the presidential election held on February 25, 2023 in Nigeria.
“The body mandated to conduct elections in Nigeria, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), after the completion of this year’s presidential election on February 25th, has declared the candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu as the winner of the said election.
“Our National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Comrade Jare Ajayi, issued a congratulatory message to the President-elect after he had been issued a Certificate of Return by INEC. This was cited as an ‘uncouth activity’ by the Communique mentioned above which further stated that Abagun and Ajayi were ‘suspended sine die pending further decisions after their appearance before and recommendations by the Disciplinary Committee’. Meaning that the two were pronounced guilty and consequently sanctioned even before their appearance before a Disciplinary Committee.”
Fasoranti noted that Adebanjo’s claim that Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, won the February 25 election and thus, support his decision challenging the contrary declaration by the INEC was alien to Afenifere, which does not conduct itself as an agent of the state let alone as an electoral umpire.
His words: “Presently, the whole world knows that Nigeria has a President-elect in person of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, a true Yoruba son and nationalist.
We in Afenifere not only acknowledge this, we take delight in his in-coming Presidency and are confident that he will, by the grace of God, return Nigeria to the glorious position that all of us will be proud, which was why I also congratulated in a personal letter I sent to him.
“The whole world is aware that I personally blessed and anointed Ahmed Bola Tinubu on October 30, 2022 in the presence of notable people from all parts of Yorubaland right here in my place in Akure. How
can we then turn round and condemn the election of such a person? We never did.
“I also read in the said Communique, the purported removal and suspension of the National Publicity Secretary and the National Organising Secretary of the organisation in persons of Comrade Jare Ajayi and Abagun Kole Omololu.
“At no time was any of these officials reported to me as doing anything against what Afenifere stands for or doing anything against the interests of our race, the Yoruba. Thus, at no time was I informed that they were queried, warned or sanctioned for conducting themselves in a manner contrary to what Afenifere or the Yoruba stand for.”
Fasoranti, therefore, contended that, “being an organisation that believes in justice and fairness, being an organisation that always maintains that those at the helms of affairs should follow the rule of law, Afenifere, our organisation, cannot just wake up and pronounce some officials removed and suspended without telling them what their offences are and without giving them the opportunities to defend themselves.
“Such a step is not only against natural justice; it is also in clear defiance of the law of the land. Afenifere believes in the rule of law and in the fundamental rights of all, including right to fair hearing. For these and other reasons, the purported removal and suspension are null and void. The two officials should be commended rather than condemned for the selfless services they are rendering to Afenifere, to the Yoruba race and to Nigeria and humanity. They are hereby so commended” , he added.

NothingDoMe:
The interim government is a ploy to dodge the tribunal given its international publicity.

Now they're starting to understand why Biden hasn't congratulated Tinubu yet.

Tzar:
Whether fraud was done or not isn't supposed to be decided on social media or in the beer palours either.
The matter is in court and we should allow the legal redress run as it should.
The noise being made by opposition to shape public opinion and distort reality is not only manipulative, it is also vile.
Anyone who alleges fraud must prove it.

Tzar:
Of the 93million registered voters, and 83million PVC collection, only24,025,940 votes were cast. This is ONLY 27.55 per cent of the eligible voters.
Tinubu became president with 8.7million votes. This is ONLY about 10% of the total eligible voters. The main opposition jointly got about 13million votes.
Therefore, Tinubu didn't get the popular votes. That's why it looks like the noise of the opposition is loud and justifiable, It is not!
Tinubu is sure of over 13million strong opposition to his win and almost 60million undecided opposition. THIS STILL DOES NOT DELEGITIMIZE HIS WIN! As long as no fraud was done.
The numbers confirm an unpopular victory, but it is victory nonetheless.

Ventrue:
CJN -Ariwoola and other Supreme Judges are bringing Nigeria's names to mud. When I was in MSS secondary, did I know I would give such a merited well testimony of professional, excellent behaviour regarding Jurist Oputa? CJN Ariwoola, Is this not the type of witness future generations should testify in your favour when you shall be no more?

Could any of these distinguished men of the abovementioned bench go disguised during their lifetime? They would prefer death to travel to a foreign land disguised. Mr. Ariwoola should know better.

The scripture says, "When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3). What do you want Nigerians to do? Mr Judges.
Chief Justice Kayode Ariwoola, do you know who you are? The one who is the presiding Judge in a nation's supreme court. Not whose job for Tinubu is threatening, maiming, and killing other ethnic groups in Nigeria to grab political posts? When did you become an Asiwaju payee boy, another Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Desmond Eliot, Bayo Onanuga, MC Olumo, Fani-Kayode, called the Yoruba Rascals?

Even let us take it that Tinubu facilitated your rising to the post of CJ of the nation as Mahmood Yakubu to INEC. You are not to follow the footstep of Yakubu, paying allegiance to Tinubu instead of the country and plugging the populace into a dire crisis.

The Supreme Court released a communique that you travelled overseas for any reason, cogent or none. You ignored it and went as far as shooting a video that you dwell in the mosque to deny you travelled, thereby bringing religion into the matter like the Yoruba Rascal boys listed above.

Sir, are you planning to go into Nollywood after the already due retirement instead of aiming to preside ICC like TOS Elias, especially now that the eyes of the whole world are on you and the Judiciary?
Need to be made aware that every country on the planet is talking daily about the credibility of the Nigerian Judiciary? Sir, don't you read and listen to the news?

To be continued…

muykem:
Interim government means suspension of constitution and end of current democracy. Those people asking for it are either ignorant of their demand or are being mischievous.

JasonScoolari:
That's one thing I admire about the Afenifere leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, He doesn't give room for any silly tribal slurs from his own people.

The suspended Publicity Secretary and National Organizing Secretary maybe one of those miscreants championing the hate towards Igbos...

God bless Chief Ayo Adebanjo with good health and wisdom.

seunmsg:
How will Seun be able to stop ethnic slurs and incitement when threads like this are allowed to thrive?

Emekaonline:
And when you see people like igbos living among the rascals, then they are the stupidest and most foolish of all according to Nwazuruike

LegendHero:
This pig 🐖 🐖 of a man is still talking.

The smelling pig trying to whitewash the nonsense he said.

We heard you loud and clear so no need trying to shalaye.

SWATMan:
I have read over 6 books written about the Nigeria/Biafran civil war, detailing the events that culminated to the outbreak of the conflict ranging from Omogui, Forsyth, Gbulie, Ademoyega and one of the most compelling "in Biafra Africa died" never have I seen a tribally warped account as this. I stopped reading this ethnically biased bullcrap the moment I saw colonel Y'ardua. Was he a colonel before the war? Of course not. This write up can only be convincing to minions who don't read.

SAMUEL1947:
Fools "denied" did he meet him. ask urself.

madridguy:
Journalism in Nigeria is just hear say. Always dishing out fabricated junk and tag it news.

So Tinubu is no longer in hospital but hotel

Strafudeen:
God punish all election thieves especially bastard thifnubu

bcomputer101:
Without apology, I will say Igbos has a very low IQ. You keep doing things that will make your host to hate you. You have successfully made people to see LP as Igbo party. I'm a Yoruba man that campaign vigorously for Peter Obi to an extent of even calling him Peteru Oluwaseun Obi, but today if I should vote in any rerun, I won't vote him again because I now see LP as Igbo party.
You guys needs to wake up and stop being fool!sh...
