Nigerian playwright, poet and essayist, Wole Soyinka has said that no power or force should crucify the governor of Benue State, Emmanuel Ortom, for defecting from the All Progressive Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Soyinka said this at the launch of his latest interventions series, Interventions VIII, titled Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes: Gani’s Unfinished Business. In his words, “I am not campaigning for any party . That is my position on those that leave their party to another. They do it for all kind of reasons . And I do not believe that Ortom , the governor of one of the states , should be crucified by any power or force for taking decision.”
