Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka
has denied granting an interview to assess
President Muhammadu Buhari’s one year
in office.
Soyinka described the story of his
comments on President Buhari making
the rounds on the internet as a forgery
and called on security agents to do
something about these forgers.
In his statement issued on Tuesday
entitled: More Inmates For The Republic
Of Liars, Soyinka said he is yet to grant an
interview regarding Buhari’s year in office.
Here is Soyinka’s full statement:
MORE INMATES FOR THE REPUBLIC OF
LIARS
The following attribution is a disgusting
forgery. I have yet to grant an interview
regarding Buhari’s year in office. Once
again, I notify the Security arms of Nigeria
about this increasingly obsessed exercise
in identity forgery. I alert the public to
beware of the danger this portends in the
murky atmosphere of Nigeria’s ongoing
politics. The sycophants of power and
influence will clearly do anything to gain
attention and preferment, but they only
earn the contempt of decent citizens,
including those on whom they foist their
unsolicited services.”
Wole SOYINKA
Here is the despicable report doing the
rounds on the Internet:
“\”Professor Wole Soyinka’s assessment
of President Buhari’s first year in office:
From the time i publicly declared for
Buhari, to the time i followed my
conviction to work for his campaign at
both Buhari Support Organizations and
the APC Presidential Campaign Council till
date, there was never a time i pushed
Buhari as Nigeria’s model in economic
management even when i am convinced
that he is working with his team to change
the structure of our economy from a
mono-economy. I predicated my support
on the need to secure a country on the
verge of becoming a failed state. I wanted
Buhari to stop the unprecedented
bleeding of the country from never-seen
looting in history. I wanted Buhari to reset
the moral code in public service and
leadership. We couldn’t just continue to
have a country that rewarded criminals
like the past administration openly and
obscenely did. We needed a Buhari to put
his legendary stamp of integrity to drive
governance and in one year there is a
new lease of life in the way government
business is now conducted. On economy
we have believed lies of GDP and statistics
built on falsehood for too long.
Corruption was driving the economy as
the working capital while petrol-dollars
gave us a false sense of insularity.
Everything just crashed on us without the
money from oil like it used to be. Years of
mismanagement all came to hunt us and
very bad too. With Buhari having used the
last 12months for housekeeping, the
trajectory of the economy will continue to
go north with more hard work and faithful
implementation of government
programmes.
