Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka has
called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take a stand between late MKO Abiola
and former military president, Sani Abacha.
Soyinka, speaking on Tuesday
during the Special National Honours Investiture at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja, urged Buhari to stop confusing Nigerians and take a stand.
He was one of the speakers at the
occasion where MKO Abiola, the adjudged winner of the June 12, 1993
presidential election and others were honoured.
Soyinka said, “As we inaugurate
hall of fame, we should inaugurate hall of shame on another hand.
”Hall of Shame should be in line
with Hall of Honours. Many unsung heroes and heroines. The torture,
dehumanizing of Nigerians were horrendous.
“I will like to appeal to you to stop
confusing Nigerians. It is not possible to honor MKO Abiola in one breadth and
praise his tormentor in another breadth.”
