The Publisher of Conscience International Magazine, High
Chief Abiola Ogundokun, has taken issues with Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole
Soyinka, who in his new book took a swipe on the publisher, describing him in
derogatory terms.
In his book-“InterInventions, Between Defective Memory
and The Public Lie”-released recently, Soyinka alleged that Ogundokun always
made himself available “for hire to the most noxious of Nigerian rulers, both
at the central and state levels, most notably, the infamous rogue and murderer,
General Sani Abacha.”
He also labelled the Conscience publisher a liar, rapist
and fugitive.
But in a strongly-worded letter he sent to Soyinka,
Ogundokun called the nobel laureate an “un-relentless liar with a knack for
hypocrisy”.
He said in the 1,478 words letter: “My first thought was
not to dignify you with a response but I have been inundated with phone calls
and electronic mails from friends, admirers and family members, both home and
in the Diaspora, seeking to know the truth about you and your spurious
allegations,” Ogundokun said.
