Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, on Wednesday said there was a conspiracy to ensure that the 2023 presidential election did not hold.
Soyinka said people who were calling for an interim
government were bent on annulling the 2023 presidential election.
The Nobel Laureate made the claim while speaking with
Channels TV on Wednesday.
He said, “I am alleging that there was a conspiracy from the
very beginning, before the election, to make sure the elections did not take
place or that even if the voting did take place, that everything be reverted to
what happened under Babangida (former military Head of State General Ibrahim
Babangida).
“When we all just woke up and discovered that even though
the results have been calculated, even though the results were in possession of
international bodies, including monitoring embassies and so on, even though we
had the results directly, it was suddenly annulled.
“History was about to repeat itself, some people were
determined to take us back to those days.
“So, for me, it was no longer a contest between individuals,
it was now a contest between the so-called interim political party and
democracy.
“When you have a binary like that, I have no doubt or
hesitation about what side of the barricade my position should be.”

We may still be thinking that Wole Soyinka is with his confused brains but no, he has lost it. We have serious issues of insecurity in the nation, high cost of food items, forex problems and a litany of other disturbing matters but what do you find your Prof discussing, a belated but very much dead matter, election. Please let someone wake this poor prof up and tell him Niogeria has moved on. He always stays with the negatives.
