Professor Wole Soyinka, a Nobel laureate, says slain Bola Ige, a former Attorney-General, spoke from beyond the grave through the defeat of the All Progressives Congress in the Osun governorship election,
to those who aided his destroyers.
According to him, those who “conspired to catapult his destroyers to unmerited national prominence, to insult the memories of the living, and jettison basic ethical constraints, have been justly served”.
Soyinka added: “It is a lesson that speaks to other zones of rightful public expectations, equity, and just entitlements. One despairs but continues to hope that there are still receptive minds in which such lessons will germinate.
“If we may adapt a wise saying from the ancients: the beast of burden, nicknamed Equity, ambles its mined course to destination but, sooner or later, that donkey arrives”.
