Abuja — The Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday agreed that in view of uproar generated by the re-arrest of the leader of the Revolution Now Movement, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, by the Department of State Services (DSS) last Friday, it had become inappropriate to proceed with the planned presentation of "Anti-Corruption Defender Award of 2019' to the vice-president.
According to the WSCIJ, the vice president was to be honoured "for his invaluable work of overhauling the Lagos State judiciary, facilitating far-reaching reforms in the administration of justice in the state, his work of promoting integrity in the civil society and business in Nigeria and his consistency as a strong voice for promoting integrity in the country."
