Silencing opposition voices – Gumi reacts to Trump's ban on Wole Soyinka from US


 Controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi has reacted to the revocation of Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka’s US Visa.

 

President Donald Trump’s administration has permanently revoked Soyinka’s visa.

 

Addressing journalists on Tuesday at Kongi’s Harvest Gallery, Freedom Park, Lagos Island, Lagos, Soyinka, who broke the news, said he was unaware of any action that could have prompted the revocation.

 

The move has, however, triggered reactions from concerned Nigerians, especially social media users.

 

Reacting, Gumi, in a post on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, likened the development to the revocation of his Saudi visa.

 

He attributed the move by the US government to alleged decisions to silence voices of opposition.

 

“It reminds me of my Saudi visa revoke for no offence beside freedom of speech.

 

“Poor them. You can’t silence those who don’t need you to survive”, Gumi wrote on Facebook.
