Wole Soyinka Describes The 2015 Elections As “violent & Unprincipled" by pTomz(m): 1:23pm On Mar 30, 2015 |
Renowned Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, is not impressed with the manner in which the 2015 elections are being conducted. According to Guardian, Soyinka spent election day in Nigeria “working the phones late into the night, gathering reports of technical glitches, irregularities and violence.” Based on the information he received, Soyinka stated: “We’re talking about a very positive response by the public in terms of determination to register and vote but, you know, this has been one of the most vicious, unprincipled, vulgar and violent election exercises I have ever witnessed…I just hope we won’t go down as being the incorrigible giant of Africa,” he said. Soyinka further stated that “a very sinister force” could attempt to exploit disputed results to try and plan a coup. “The stakes appear to be so high that all scruples have been set aside and it’s very distressing to compare this election with the election of 1993, which was one of the most orderly, civilised and resolute elections we ever had. This one was like a no-holds-barred kind of election, especially, frankly, from the incumbency side. One shouldn’t be too surprised anyway given the kind of people who are manning the barricades for the incumbent candidate.”http:// www.bellanaija.com/2015/03/30/wole-soyinka-describes-2015-electoral-processes-as-vicious-vulgar-violent-unprincipled/
