THE Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the February 25, 2023 Presidential election, Peter OBI paid a courtesy visit to the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka on Sunday, May 7, 2023.
The former Governor of Anambra State took to his official Tweeter Page monitored by SOJ WORLDWIDE to pour encomiums on the respected Poet and Human Rights Activist who recently took a swipe at the Vice-Presidential candidate of the LP, Datti Baba-Ahmed for his ‘unguarded’ utterances on the Channels Television interview.
Obi said,
“Today, I visited one of Nigeria’s most revered figures and an international literary icon, Prof Wole Soyinka. Prof Soyinka has been a father whom I hold in very high esteem for what he has achieved and stands for in the struggle for a better Nigeria.”

“His reputation as a fighter for justice and equity in our society has been legendary and we will NEVER ignore them. I had a very useful and enriching discussion about his aspirations for a better and greater Nigeria.”
“and he shared a lot with me about his dream for a greater and more inclusive Nigeria. I reminded the Nobel laureate of the huge price he paid just before the outbreak of the civil war, fighting for the cause of the Igbos.”
“I cherished this Sunday’s visit which was intended to erase the needless misconceptions about the relationship between the great icon and the OBIdient family. -PO”
