Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has promised never to assume he is too old to be dragged to court by lawyers of Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka.
Mr El-Rufai tweeted this early Tuesday in commemoration of Soyinka’s 86th birthday, recalling how the playwright threatened to sue him on his 60th birthday.
He wrote: “I promise never to ever claim I am old to avoid being sued by your lawyers as you threatened on my 60th birthday. We love you. We respect you. Your accomplishments inspire us to know that Nigeria will be great in our lifetime. You have proven it over & over.”
The governor also prayed for more years in good health for the famous poet and activist.
“On behalf of my family, government & people of Kaduna State, I wish our revered Prof Wole Soyinka a very happy 86th Birthday. We pray for God to continue to shower His blessings on you, grant you even longer life in good health happiness & prosperity,” he wrote.
