I read practically everything that Sam Omatseye writes even when I do not agree with him. I believe that he is gifted, very gifted.
I have read several materials Sam has published in this political season when Nigerians are trying desperately to recover their nation which seems heading for the precipice. The articles have left me perplexed.
I was, to say the least, horrified by Sam’s recent piece which he titled “CLOWN vs CROWN” in which Sam went after Senator Ademola Adeleke with very frightening and demeaning language, treating Adeleke like a sorry joke seeking what is beyond him. Sam’s conclusion: “The Osun people know the serious from the farce. Even before the election, it is obvious he will not only be crestfallen, but his will be a clownfall”.
I don’t know if Sam Omatseye truly knows how talented he is. His talent is such that I believe ought not to be deployed the way he is deploying it. No politics or politician should be able to pay for the gift and talent of Sam Omatseye.
I will forever stand for literary licence and the freedom of speech. I however will plead with Sam to go back and read what he wrote about Senator Adeleke and ask himself if he could have used some other words to express his preference.
We all make mistakes. Now that the people of Osun State have spoken, I wish to ask if Sam will find the humility to apologise to Senator Ademola Adeleke for those horrible words
