The former Anambra State governor who disclosed this in a tweet after the visit, hailed Soyinka as a father who has always stood for justice, while noting that the visit was intended to erase “the needless misconceptions about the relationship between the great icon and the OBIdient family.”
According to Obi, “Today, I visited one of Nigeria’s most revered figures and an international literary icon, Prof Wole Soyinka. Prof Soyinka has been a father whom I hold in very high esteem for what he has achieved and stands for in the struggle for a better Nigeria.
