Labour Party Carpets Soyinka Over Comments On Obi, Datti

The leadership of Labour Party has chided Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, for accusing the opposition party of attempting to hoodwink Nigerians into believing that its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, won the February 25 election.

The objection is coming in the wake of Soyinka’s declaration on Wednesday at an event titled, “The Lives of Wole Soyinka — A Dialogue,” which was held in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Recall that the renowned writer had claimed the party was aware that Obi came third but the leadership persisted on playing ‘Gbajue’ (to force a lie) on the people, especially the youthful population.
