The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, has paid tribute to Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka on his 90th birthday.
In a post shared on his official X handle on Saturday, Atiku lauded Soyinka’s enduring influence, stating that he “remains a virile hunter in our Forest of a Thousand Daemons.”
Atiku wrote, “To truly celebrate Prof Wole Soyinka, You Must Set Forth at Dawn. But that would be after a Telephone Conversation. The man of Ake, despite all the Trials of Brother Jero, and at a prime age of 90, remains a virile hunter in our Forest of a Thousand Daemons.
“Neither Death nor the King’s Horseman has stopped The Interpreter from his bountiful Kongi’s Harvest and the Chronicles of his happy life on Earth. Yet, The Man Lives, even in this Season of Anomy.
“Happy birthday and congratulations, Sir.”
