Viral column by Obi supporters that got Soyinka to write Facism on Course, his latest article
1965 ELECTION DRAMA
31Yr Old Soyinka Declared Wanted For Seizing Radio Station At Gunpoint Over Western Region Elections Rigging!
Wole Soyinka calling OBIdients names is the most bizarre thing I’ve read today.
Do older Nigerians really think we don’t read (their) history.
A 31-year-old Oluwole Soyinka stormed a radio station and held a Bereta pistol to the head of a broadcaster’s head to prevent the victory speech of the winner of a declared election result.

“Give me those tapes. GIVE ME THOSE TAPES OR ELSE……!”
He forcefully collected the tape and gave a substitute tape to be slotted for broadcast.
“Akintola go! Drop your stolen mandate, leave town and take your reprobates with you. Let them leave now before the people decide to wash the streets with their blood.”
It is this same Soyinka who now talks about fascism and says Peter Obi supporters lost him the elections because of their utterances.
On an election that has been universally condemned?
No OBIdient has done half of what Soyinka did in that election; an action that he’s refused to call himself a fascist for or even condemn.
“I could not sit down and accept that somebody should steal my voice. I felt at one with the majority of the people.”
No OBIdient has done half of what Soyinka did in that election; an action that he’s refused to call himself a fascist for or even condemn.
An action he justifies by saying he was moved to take because the democratic rights of the citizens were brazenly stolen.
This is the man who condemns people whose only offense is calling for justice ON THE INTERNET.
*lThey hold no media station to ransom.
They wield no weapon on the streets.
Their offence?* *Vehemently oppose those they think are not qualified to lead them on social media.
This is the people, a man who fought military dictatorship on the streets and via the ink is offended by?
Is this how to build a nation?
