Eniola Akinkuou, AbujaOluokun Soyinka, son of Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, says the unidentified young man who refused to give up his seat for his father was within his rights to do so. He wrote, “The young man whose seat it was may have had a specific reason to insist on having his seat. My irritation, however, is reserved for social media warriors.”“Some vehemently defended the right of the young man to claim his seat. They hailed him for bravely standing up to oppression and divined how a young WS himself might have reacted in a similar situation. One wag even suggested he might as well have insisted on having the pilot’s seat.”Oluokun said the young man missed an opportunity of showing an act of kindness to an old man.
