ObiDients is One of The Most Repulsive Concoction I've Encountered in Politics - Soyinka

Professor Wole Soyinka has said the inability of the supporters of the Labour Party, LP, otherwise known as Obidients, to accept criticism has now become their badge of honour.

 
The Nobel laureate shared this opinion in a statement released on Friday, April 7, titled “Fascism on Course,”.

“The instigating contest – Nigerian Democracy 2023 – has witnessed much that is innovative – largely in the retrogressive vein. Violence and ethnic profiling. “Spiritual” warfare in the shape of sacrificial rams to keep “disloyal” communities under restraint – in short, intimidation yet again!

Easily overlooked however are those missives of violence directed against dissenting voices, real or suspect. Such, for instance, were the virulent attacks and threats to the musician Seun Kuti, his family and iconic music Shrine.

His crime consisted of nothing more than declaring the name “Obidient” derogatory to his sense of civic dignity and activist history. Such beginnings – and instances are numerous – have culminated in the open intimidation of the Court of Last Resort, even before proceedings have begun.

By the way, I do agree with Seun Kuti; ‘Obidients’ is one of the most repulsive, off-putting concoctions I ever encountered in any political arena. Some love it however, and this is what freedom is about. Choice. Taste. Free emotions. By contrast, I have no quarrel with “Yes Daddy”. Roman Catholics are used to saying “Yes, Father”. Secularists say “Enh, Baba”

This here is exactly what he meant, flaring up at any slightest criticism, Obidients are better than this.

Why are you Jagabandits afraid of the truth? Is Soyinka not the godfather of cultism in Nigerian higher institutions? Can you count how many young lives that have been lost to cultism since he brought it? I used ''Bandits'', E get why.
