The members of the campaign team of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu have reacted to the response of Prof. Wole Soyinka to a viral video of the members of the Pyrates Confraternity mocking Tinubu’s ill-health.
In the viral video posted on social media, some members of the Confraternity group were seen dressed in red and white attire yelling out critical remarks as they gyrate to a song that mocked Tinubu over the speech made in Ogun State ahead of the party presidential primary.
It could be recalled that the former Governor of Lagos State had during a controversial speech stated with Governor Abiodun and Ogun State delegates that ‘Emi lo kan’, meaning ‘It’s my turn to get power after President Muhammadu Buhari.
In the viral video, the members of the Pyrates Confraternity sang, “Hand dey shake, leg dey shake, Baba wey no well, e de shout emi lo kan (Hands are shaking, legs are shaking. A sick old man is shouting ‘it’s my turn).
…But reacting to Soyinka’s response, those in the Tinubu camp have allegedly said that the APC presidential candidate and his team are annoyed over the Nobel Laureate’s response.
They accused Soyinka of systematically revealing “that Tinubu got Parkinson’s disease, thereby confirming that he’s an invalid candidate.”
“They are angry that Prof. (Professor Soyinka) revealed too much about Bola Tinubu’s health condition,” he added.
