The Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka has lambasted the Buhari led government; he said while the country is disintegrating, President Muhammadu Buhari has become increasingly lazy, clueless to fix the problems.
“This country is in a mess,” Mr Soyinka said at a press briefing on Thursday. “It is disintegrating right before our very eyes. The government is floundering. The government is devoid of (a) holistic solution.”
Mr Soyinka’s latest tirade against Mr Buhari’s regime was against the backdrop of what he described as harsh and disorganised COVID-19 safety protocols for Nigerian travellers.
More so, Mr Soyinka pointed out that expecting Mr Buhari’s regime to proffer a solution to Nigeria’s crises would be a waste of time, urging Nigerians to pile up the pressure on the APC government.
“If we are still looking to this government for a solution, I think we really are lost,” Mr Soyinka said. “We’ve got to find the way of pilling up pressure to engage us to meet as equal beings across the entire nation for a national indaba involving various professions, ethnic groups, any productive sectors of this country should come together and really debate the future of this country.”
While citing citizens resistance to the military coup in Sudan, Mr Soyinka said the #EndSARS protest was one of the memorable times when Nigerians rose against oppression, though the protest ended on a tragic note.
