His response was that he was on a visit to the Yoruba  Nation activist, Sunday Igboho to “break the Muslim fast with him.”

Reminded that neither he nor Sunday Ighoho was a Muslim, he asserted that it made no difference. He said he had wished to see Igboho, so as to sympathize with his predicament.

Ramadan is as good as any other season to express non-denominational solidarity, added Professor Soyinka.
