“Obasanjo is one of the most hypocritical leaders in Nigeria – Soyinka. …..and you are perhaps the biggest empty talker around, Prof! Now that you have just realised Obasanjo’s hypocrisy, can you show us proof of some of his hypocrisy? Is it possible? If so, please do not delay. We are just plain tired of talk and counter-talk!” May God rest your soul sir and comfort your family- AMEN.
