A very happy 90th birthday to the legendary Professor Wole Soyinka!


This milestone offers a perfect moment to express my deepest gratitude for your immense influence on my journey into the world of media. It’s truly humbling to recall that you were my very first guest on Moments with Mo back in 2005.


Since then, I’ve had the incredible privilege of meeting with you on several occasions. Your generosity with advice and counsel has been invaluable.

But perhaps the greatest treasure is the trust you placed in me by granting the rights to produce “Death and the King’s Horseman – Elesin Oba.”


Seeing it become an official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022 was a dream come true, a testament to your timeless work.


Professor Soyinka, your unwavering dedication to truth, justice, and the power of artistic expression continues to inspire generations.


Here’s to you, sir! May you enjoy the happiest of birthdays filled with love and appreciation. Sending you tons of love and best wishes, always. Mo Abudu”
