Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka, calling former
President Olusegun
Obasanjo, a degenerate, liar, predator and sadist, has challenged him to
swear whether he never awarded oil
blocks in return for
s-xual gratification while he presided over the affairs of
Nigeria.Soyinka spoke in his Interventions VIII series,
titled: ‘Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?’ meaning “Gani’s Unfinished Business,”
launched recently in Lagos,
Southwest Nigeria.
He said Obasanjo knows him so well that he does
not make accusations lightly and that he despises snide insinuations.
“I now challenge you (Obasanjo) to search
your soul, very deeply, and swear to this nation that you never awarded oil
blocks in return for s-xual gratification.
“I do not make accusations lightly and I
despise snide insinuations. I believe you know me well enough. And I am no
prude, I am not a hypocrite of sexual desire, nor am I interested in the seamy
side of Power.
“Take your time, think deeply and remember
that each day brings you closer and closer to your Maker and the Day of
Judgment-going by your own professions.”
Soyinka said s-x-for-grades as a solution to that
burdensome energy seemed to have become the practice, saying that even when
Donald Trump and Bill Clinton were accused of s-xual misconduct, no one ever
accused Trump of using his nation’s assets for a romp on the presidential desk
of the oval office and that not even Clinton who nearly lost his office through
Monica Lewinsky, was ever accused of passing off any of the White House
heirlooms, or influenced contracts in return for sexual favour.
“If I denounce you (Obasanjo) as a degenerate
in need of help, remember that I do not require fiction. Verifiable truth is
solemnly at my disposal. I do not concoct a thousand snipers for a thousand
listed enemies of governance-one of the most impudent egregious fantasies ever
manufactured by a former ruler, simply to destroy a successor and persuade
oneself that one is a maker and breaker of governments,” he said.
Soyinka also said that during Obasanjo’s
celebration of the 10th anniversary of his Presidential library, the former
president accused him of blocking his ambitions to become the Secretary General
of the United Nations.
According to Soyinka, “could someone please
stop crediting me with that level of international clout? Of course, I feel
totally content and fulfilled with my contribution to that operation to ‘save
our world’ from the clutches of a predator, sadist and liar-convincing evidence
of which we provided in our successful diplomatic offensive-but the umbrage
should also go to that very Femi Falana and the late Beko Ransome-Kuti, with
whom I worked in close collaboration.”
Soyinka also said that under Obasanjo’s watch,
and with proven collaboration, an elected governor was kidnapped, locked in a
toilet and held there under duress to force him to sign cheques on the state
treasury, saying that “he escaped confinement, thanks to a sympathetic
policeman , but the state went up in flames. The state radio and television
houses were torched. The House of Assembly and the law courts—my own special
preserve-were vandalized. Who did you say was President at that time?”
Soyinka made reference to a letter written to
Obasanjo by Col. Abubakar Umar, in which the former military governor accused
Obasanjo of awarding oil block indiscriminately and illegally.
