Globalcom last night hosted Professor Wole Soyinka in a programme tagged: ‘An evening with Wole Soyinka’. He was later asked to respond to Obasanjo’s assessment of him in the former president’s book titled ‘My Watch’, where he notes that Soyinka is good at hunting and wines but a political illiterate. Soyinka however fired again saying Obasanjo is nothing but a liar and why should the opinion of a liar matter. Hear him;
“Obasanjo is entitled to his opinion. But the question is: ‘Who respects the opinion of a liar? I can spend the whole night proving that he is a liar. Obasanjo was once described by an economist, the late Prof Ojetunji Aboyade, as an economic illiterate. They nearly ‘went into blow’ that night. It was Prof. Mabogunje who separated them. So, if an economic illiterate calls somebody a political illiterate, no problem at all. In ‘ My Watch’, Obasanjo told the first lie when he said he deplored lies. Anybody who said he never plotted to have an unconstitutional third term in office, even as a writer, I need a word to describe him.”
It will be recalled that the former president and the professor have been sworn enemies for some time taking swipes at each other at any given time.
