Professor Wole Soyinka’s recent statement, which has generated lots of controversies among Nigerians, especially with the Obidient movement, should be regarded as a personal opinion. If Nigerians can reflect back on history, they will clearly understand that Professor Wole Soyinka has contradicted himself. Again, calling out Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmed of the Labour Party of Nigeria for a debate over such issues does not make any sense in our opinion. All we can say at this point is that Professor Wole Soyinka, as an elder statesman who is not being fair with the truth at this point, should allow the youths of Nigeria to do their thing. The Nigeria of the past is not the Nigeria of today. The youths of Nigeria are highly skilled and extremely intelligent; they know what they want, and if they are given the opportunity to direct the affairs of Nigeria, they are going to do very well. Always be on the side of truth as an encouragement to the youths of the country; it would go a long way in assisting them to achieve their dreams.
