African Nobel Laureate, Professor Oluwole Soyinka has revealed that there was no need for Nigerian singer,. David Adeleke popularly known as ‘ Davido ‘ to seek apology over the controversial ‘Jaye Lo ‘ video.
According to VANGUARD NEWS, he recently made this known of recent while reacting to several comments being made about the action of the Nigerian singer.
In brief, he said: ” There was nothing to apologize about. It should come as no surprise that I equally absolutely disagree with Shehu Sani if indeed as reported, he has demanded an apology from Davido on behalf of the Moslem community. As already admitted, I have not seen the clip, but I insist on the right of the artiste to deploy dance in a religious setting as a fundamental given. Such deployment is universal heritage, most especially applicable in the case of Islam where a plot of land, even without the physical structure, can be turned into a sacral space for believers to gather and worship “.
