The contentious Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, has voiced his thoughts on the annulment of acclaimed Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka’s visa to the United States. President Donald Trump’s administration has decisively rescinded Soyinka’s visa.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday at Kongi’s Harvest Gallery within Freedom Park, Lagos Island, Lagos, Soyinka, who was the bearer of this unsettling news, expressed his surprise at any actions that might have stimulated the cancellation.
This action, however, has spurred an array of reactions from concerned citizens of Nigeria, particularly among social media enthusiasts.
In his response, Gumi analogized the situation to the cancellation of his own Saudi visa, which he faced earlier.
He attributed the US government’s action to purported efforts aimed at stifling dissenting voices.
“This echoes my Saudi visa cancellation, which occurred without any wrongdoing other than the expression of free speech.
“Poor them. You cannot silence those who do not depend on you to thrive,” Gumi declared on Facebook.
