Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, has
urged Nigerians to kick against move by the Senate to pass Hate Speech bill.
Speaking in Lagos, on Thursday,
the Nobel Laureate maintained that the Hate Speech bill was designed to silence
criticism from Nigerians.
“Nigerians should not be afraid
to kick against it, there is no way they will cut off any body’s head,” he
said.
Soyinka also said President
Muhammadu Buhari should have sacked Nigeria’s Defence Minister, Alhaji Dan Ali
over the incessant harassment of innocent citizens by military personnel, “for
no just cause.”
He condemned the Minister for his
comments on why communities blocked grazing routes, and expect herdsmen not to
react.
