The national leadership of the Labour Party on Thursday slammed the Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, over the statement credited to him on the party and the last general election.
Soyinka had on Wednesday accused the LP leadership of trying to force “a lie” on Nigerians on the outcome of the February 25 election.
The playwright, who spoke at an event titled: “The Lives of Wole Soyinka — A Dialogue” organised by Africa in the World in South Africa, said the LP leaders knew that the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, lost the election but were determined to force lies down the throats of Nigerians that he was rigged out of the process by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
