Buhari was a disaster – Soyinka

Irked by ex-President Muhammadu Buhari 's failure to address several pressing economic and security issues dragging the nation backwards when he was in power, renowned Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka , has described the former President as a monumental disaster.

“I told him that as Commander-in-Chief, he should give those insurgents 48 hours to quit all the lands that they had illegally acquired, and after that, it is maximum force. I watched him, but nothing happened. I merely cite this as one. This exposes the nature of Nigeria’s vociferous critics for who they are – liars.

The Guardian reports that in April 2022, the Nobel laureate, a vocal critic of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, refuted claims he asked Nigerians to vote for Buhari during the buildup to the 2015 presidential election. “What I said very distinctly is ‘do not vote for Jonathan’. I don’t regret that because the level of corruption at that stage was such at number one.

“So, while we talk about regulation, I want us to be very careful there. I don’t want some dictator like this last one attempted to do; who woke up and said I’m banning Facebook , Idiot!
