“You’re Better At Wine Drinking Than A Political Critic” Said Obasanjo To Soyinka

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo repeated that he maintains his view, communicated in his three-volume autobiography, My Watch, Prof. Wole Soyinka, Nobel laureate, prowess lies in wine matters than in political analysis.
In his book, Obasanjo wrote, “For Wole, no one can be good, nor can anything be spot-on politically except that which emanates from him or is ordained by him. His friends and loved ones will always be right and correct, no matter what they do or fail to do. He is surely a better wine connoisseur and a more successful aparo (guinea fowl) hunter than a political critic.”
Nonetheless, shortly after the book went public, last year December, Soyinka had, in a piece entitled, ‘Watch and Pray, Watch and Prey’, frantically chastised such a description (of him), calling Obasanjo ‘’an expert liar, who lies to boost his ego.’’
But in an interview granted a private television station, Channels, on a programme tagged, ‘Book Club’, Obasanjo, while holding on to his words, said what he wrote about Soyinka was purely his view, adding that Soyinka did not have to agree with him.
