Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, on Thursday, declared that President Muhammadu Buhari was not in charge of the affairs of Nigeria.
This is as he said that the lopsidedness in the appointments into offices by Buhari was criminal and those responsible should be punished.
Soyinka made the remarks on Thursday during an interview session on PlusTv Africa.
Reacting to the assertion by a retired colonel and former military administrator of Kaduna, Umar Dangiwa, that Buhari was guilty of being lopsided in his appointments, Soyinka said it was not enough to raise the issue but to ensure whoever was behind it was punished.
His words: “First of all, I was appalled by the silence that followed this revelation. I think those who are responsible for this criminal lopsidedness should be punished. It is not sufficient just to discuss it. It’s criminal.
“I have said this before. I don’t believe there is really anybody in charge in Aso Rock. I’m sorry to say this. I’ve been studying the trend over the past year and a half and I believe this president is not in charge of this nation, in so many aspects and directions. I’m convinced he’s not really and totally with it.
“It’s so serious. It is not the fact alone, we know the history of this. We know what it has caused the nation and we know it isn’t over yet. And you say are launching an enquiry. That’s not enough. This man is not in charge.”
