Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said that President
Muhammadu Buhari does not appear to be in charge of the
country.
Soyinka disclosed this yesterday in an interview on PlusTv
Africa.
The literary icon was reacting to an open letter written by Umar
Dangiwa, a retired colonel and former military administrator of
Kaduna, to Buhari over the president’s knack for appointing people
from his section of the country into office.
Soyinka said, “First of all, I was appalled by the silence that
followed this revelation. I think those who are responsible for
this criminal lopsidedness should be punished. It is not sufficient
just to discuss it. It’s criminal.
“I have said this before. I don’t believe there is really
anybody in charge in Aso Rock. I’m sorry to say this. I’ve been
studying the trend over the past year and a half and I believe this
president is not in charge of this nation, in so many aspects and
directions. I’m convinced he’s not really and totally with it.
“It’s so serious. It is not the fact alone, we know the history
of this. We know what it has caused the nation and we know it isn’t
over yet. And you say are launching an enquiry. That’s not enough.
This man is not in charge.”
