Noble laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has insisted that some supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, also known as ‘Obidients’ are naive and are playing the script of some political actors.
Soyinka made this statement recently during a question-and-answer session at the launch of his book titled “The Putin Files: Excursions Around The Ideology Of Pain”, the latest in the famous interventions series in Lagos.
He said prior to the election, some people had planned to tilt the country towards having an interim government.
He said: “That tendency had been apparent even before the election.
“So some of those who thought they were being radical, they were being ‘mumu’ (foolish), and “playing the script of others”.
He said he knew that after his statement, a mob of Obidients would attack him online by opening what he described as their “dictionary of abuses” and added that he would be happy to face them.
He said: “They can go back to the internet, open their dictionary of abuses and start all over again, I will come back and tell them that you are ‘mumu’ (foolish). You were not playing your script.”
