Soyinka: Obidients fault Kingsley Moghalu over ‘unlettered and uncultured’ remark

Moghalu

Supporters of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who are popularly called Obidients, have berated a former presidential candidate, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu for allegedly calling them “unlettered and uncultured”.

Moghalu had put out a tweet defending Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, who released a Tuesday statement in which he revealed that he told Obi three times that his supporters would cost him the February 25 presidential election.

In an earlier media engagement, Soyinka also faulted the vice-presidential candidate of LP, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, whom he said used “fascistic and unacceptable language” in speaking about the Supreme Court.

“I denounced the menacing utterances of a vice-presidential aspirant as unbecoming. It was a gladiatorial challenge directed at the judiciary and, by implication, the rest of the democratic polity.

“But what on earth has happened to my even more urgent condemnation of the physical violence inflicted on those designated “strangers” in Lagos in the lead up to, and during governorship elections?

“This prejudicial selectivity is a betrayal of trust, and I find it contemptuous of public deserving. My critique of incipient fascism in the (Obidient) movement remains grounded in indisputable evidence,” Soyinka said.

The Nobel laureate was viciously attacked by Obidients, who accused him of tacitly supporting the political order that ruined the nation.

The Obidients also objected to the octogenarian’s use of “fascism” to describe their movement, noting that this could send a wrong message to the international community which holds him in high esteem.

Rising to Soyinka’s defence, Moghalu tweeted, “Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka is a principled fighter for justice in our country and around the world. He is a phenomenon that unlettered and uncultured people may not fully understand in an age of lazy social media in which many don’t read or think deep.

“His endorsement of my 2019 presidential candidacy in my short-lived but impactful foray into Nigerian electoral politics remains one of the greatest honours of my life. I view very dimly any criticism of him simply because he’s OBJECTIVE. He survived dictators. He will survive you.”

Moghalu was also not spared by Obidients.
