Dear sir, you did not shun it you were disqualified
He did not shun the award. He shares the same concern as the organizers. He is very sensitive to his environment. That's the more reason we should respect him. They could have given him the award and nothing will happen, but he chose to be sensitive enough to what's going on
Daily post will always twist the headline to suite them. The VP very sensitive with the present time and happenings around that's why he took such decision, he didn't 'shun' the Soyinka's award.
That is very sensitive of VP Yemi Osinbajo, I'm proud of you mentor. I know what you would have done, but a lot of people are acting like they don't even know you are just a VP with limited power because you have acted so much than the usual VP we use to know
