Wole Soyinka Lacks The Moral Authority To Condemn-Reno Omokri

Mr Reno Omokri, a former Presidential aide to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has called out Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka over his remarks on the video in which the Pyrates Confraternity were seen mocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In the viral video, the members of the Pyrates Confraternity sang: “Hand dey shake, leg dey shake, Baba wey no well, e de shout emi lo kan (Hands are shaking, legs are shaking. A sick old man is shouting ‘it’s my turn’).”

Soyinka, who was among the ‘magnificent seven’ that founded Pyrates Confraternity at the University College Ibadan,  called the display, distasteful.
