Patience Jonathan Blasts Wole Soyinka “ You’re An Embarrassment To Nigeria”

……Wole Soyinka is a good old
professor – Patience Jonathan
The First Lady of Nigeria, Dame
Patience Jonathan has replied
Professor Wole Soyinka who called
her a domestic appendage over Rivers
State House of Assembly crisis on
Friday.
According to her spokesperson, Ayo
Osinlu, the wife of Nigeria's first
unpopular president Jonathan, Dame
Patience said Wole Soyinka betrayed
the moral duty that expected him, as
a respected member of the society, to
carefully consider all shades of issues
that informed his opinions on any
matter.
The statement further states;
"Unfortunately, Soyinka betrayed
moral duty in his recent diatribe
against Mrs. Patience Jonathan."Of
course, this would not be the first
time he would reach out against the
First Lady, usually from self-
righteously indignant lecterns."In this
particular instance, his verdict was
that Mrs. Jonathan was 'stoking the
crisis currently rocking her home
state of Rivers…', and thereupon asked
Mr. President to  caution his wife.
"The good, old Prof. reminds one of
the  truth that indeed, most of the
giants on the street are men of like
passions like everyone else. Worse
still, most of them are actually
standing on clay feet and would fail
the test of a gentle push."Otherwise,
who would have believed that the
social, civil, constitutional and sundry
rights crusader Prof. would maintain
a safe distance from the heart of an
activity that is a potential threat to the
peace, security and safety of the
people of a state, then collect
exaggerated stories and jaundiced
perspectives from  familiar
propagandists and character
assassins, and promptly summon the
media to a "state of the nation"
address.
"It's an embarrassment to his throng
of admirers and followers, that a sage
of Prof. Soyinka's status, who used  to
be a gauge of public morality in this
nation, would lend himself to a
propaganda of high drive, to save a
governor who elected to launch into
a river without applicable survival
skills."Mrs. Jonathan argued that the
calculation was to attack the President
and pull to pieces anyone  associated
with him, as a strategy for attracting
public sympathy to the "clear
underdog."She said Soyinka was only
contributing to the project when he
claimed that she was Governor Rotimi
Amaechi's problem.
