Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari for ordering a total lockdown in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun States.
In a statement he signed and made available to reporters in reaction to the President’s nationwide broadcast on Sunday, Soyinka said State Houses of Assembly should determine whether the President acted under the law.from 11:00pm on Monday for 14 days. This ihe said is to enable authorities contain the spread of coronavirus.
“So, before this becomes a habit, a question: does President Buhari have the powers to close down state borders? We want clear answers. We are not in a war emergency. “A President who has been conspicuously AWOL is now alleged to have woken up after a prolonged siesta, and began to issue orders,” the Playwright said.
Baba go sit down, you know grammar but lack of epidemiological sense. Lockdown is to contain the virus from spreading to vulnerable places and to people that are less privileged COVID19 lockdown WSoyinkaCentre
He’s right. Buhari didn’t consult the governors and National Assembly who hold the Constitutional powers.
Oga go and lockdown yourself in one library please. This is a matter of life and death. Coronavirus does not discriminate any seodo-lawyer ooo.
