“Your statement against my father is foolish, stupid and insignificant” – Gumsu Abacha disses Wole Soyinka

 

Gumsu is fuming over Soyinka’s refusal to be part of the Centenary award because he was sharing the Award with the late military dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, is an insult.

In a statement entitled ‘The Canonization of Terror,’ Wole Soyinka said “We are speaking of a man who placed this nation under siege during an unrelenting reign of terror that is barely different from the current rampage of Boko Haram. It is this very psychopath that was recently canonized by the government of Goodluck Jonathan in commemoration of one hundred years of Nigerian trauma.”

Reacting to the statement, the first daughter of the late military dictator took to her facebook page and wrote “Someone tell Soyinka I liked his books when I was younger but that is where it ends. Today, I reject his stupid, foolish and insignificant statement.”
