His Excellency, Peter Gregory Obi, on Sunday, paid a courtesy visit to the embattled Noble Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka who earlier got into the bad book of most Nigerians, especially the Obidients after he termed them Fascists on live interview.
Peter Obi, who has mastered the act of making peace decided to pay him a visit in a bid to sort out some issues concerning Nigeria with him.
You’d recall he also visited Femi Kuti after he misconstrued the concepts of the OBIdients and brokered peace.
See his tweets below :
“Today, I visited one of Nigeria’s most revered figures and an international literary icon, Prof Wole Soyinka. Prof Soyinka has been a father whom I hold in very high esteem for what he has achieved and stands for in the struggle for a better Nigeria.

His reputation as a fighter for justice and equity in our society has been legendary and we will NEVER ignore them. I had a very useful and enriching discussion about his aspirations for a better and greater Nigeria, and he shared a lot with me about his dream for a greater and more inclusive Nigeria. I reminded the Nobel laureate of the huge price he paid just before the outbreak of the civil war, fighting for the cause of the Igbos.
I cherished this Sunday’s visit which was intended to erase the needless misconceptions about the relationship between the great icon and the OBIdient family. -PO
