The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Sunday, May 7, paid a courtesy visit to the Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka.
The visit comes weeks after Soyinka clashed with Obidients, a nickname for the supporters of Peter Obi.
Recall that Soyinka received heat from Obidients after he accused them of Fascism, adding that they don’t ‘entertain corrective criticism’. He also stated that he warned Obi that his supporters may cost him the election.
He further incurred the wrath of the Obideint movement after publishing an article in which he described the ‘Obidients’ as one of the ‘’most repulsive, off-putting concoctions I ever encountered in any political arena”
Putting aside the political issues, Obi paid Soyinka a courtesy visit on Sunday.
