Late General Sani Abacha's son Sadiq,wrote an open LETTER to Wole Soyinka which received a lot of criticism online with readers,asking the Abachas to hide their head in shame their father was a dictator, if you missed the letter click here HERE. Lawyer, write and activist Ayo Sogunro, took it upon himself to reply Sadiq's letter. Grab a chilled can of coca cola or coffee lol and enjoy his lengthy but well articulated letter
Dear Sadiq Abacha,
I do not know you personally, but I admire your filial bravery—however misguided—in defending the honour of your father, the late General Sani Abacha. This in itself is not a problem; it is an obligation—in this cultural construct of ours—for children to rise to the defence of their parents, no matter what infamy or perfidy the said parent might have dabbled in.
The problem I have with your letter, however, arises from two issues: (i) your disparaging of Wole Soyinka, who—despite your referral to an anecdotal opinion that calls him as “a common writer”—is a great father figure, and a source of inspiration, to a fair number of us young Nigerians; and (ii) your attempt to revise Nigerian history and substitute our national experience with your personal opinions.
