    The prof Soyinka that put a gun in the head of a broadcaster to force him to declare his candidate the winner of an election he lost, the Soyinka whom we saw in a video praising Tinubu for giving him not only shelter but furnishing his house can not be an unbiased human being. By the way, where did his body monitor the election? What is the name of his organisation that monitored the election? Between prof and Obi/LP who is regionalised or tribalised? Why is it hard for some people to stand for the truth? Now that Tinubu is Oduduwalising his government, it is perfectly okey. Soyinka has been consistently consistent about his disdain against certain part of Nigeria.

      Do you have any evidence to support this claim ?
      The case you are referring to happened years ago (90(s)) , It's in our culture to say thank you and appreciate good deeds.

      @@adedamolaadeleye1865 case in the 90s should not be talked about because we are in 2000s? Really! This shows how smart, rational and detribalised you are. The prof who lied about having a group that monitored the presidential election of Feb 25,2023? Where did he monitor it. Did you not see the video where he talked about how the CSU's Oluwole Dependent National Selection Commission selected president saved him and his wife by giving him shelter and furnishing his house after it was renovated from his illicit drug money. Why is this Oluwole selected president heavily spending his ill gotten money in Chicago trying to silence them, he knows that everybody knows that the person who attended CSU is a woman and that is why he does not want them to release the sex of the person. He is also trying to stop FBI from the realise of his criminal record in America. America will not be Jagabanised no matter how he tries
