Literary doyen and Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, has reacted to the victory of Ademola Adeleke in the just concluded Osun governorship election.
Soyinka described the defeat of the All Progressives Congress as “the voice of Bola Ige resounding from the grave.”
This was contained in a statement Soyinka released on Sunday.
Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won the election with 403,371 votes, defeating the incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the APC, who polled 375,027 votes.
“Those who conspired to catapult his destroyers to unmerited national prominence, to insult the memories of the living, and jettison basic ethical constraints, have been justly served.
“It is a lesson that speaks to other zones of rightful public expectations, equity, and just entitlements. One despairs but continues to hope that there are still receptive minds in which such lessons will germinate,” the statement read in part.
