“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 $exual gratification”, Soyinka said.
“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 $exual 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 made reference to a letter written to Obasanjo by Abubakar Umar, in which the former Military Governor accused Obasanjo of awarding oil block indiscriminately and illegally.
The literary scholar, stated that $ex-for-grades as a solution to burdensome energy, seemed to have become the practice, saying that, even when Donald Trump and Bill Clinton were accused of $exual misconduct, no one ever accused them of using their nation’s assets for a romp.
“If I denounce you (Obasanjo) as a degenerate in need of help, remember that I do not require fiction”, he said.
“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.”
Soyinka also disclosed 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, UN.
