Why Soyinka knocked Peter Obi

He cited the conduct of his supporters, popularly known as “Obidients,” during the poll.

According to The Punch, Soyinka noted that Obi’s failure to control his supporters, who attacked anyone who opposed his presidential ambition, was a pointer that the former governor of Anambra was not fit to become president.
