If Buhari hears what Soyinka said about him, the president wouldn't be inviting Soyinka to Aso Rock again.

This is serious wailing:

Soyinka is a great man, one of Nigeria's rare gems. However, as I have pointed out before, his son was (still is?) health commissioner in Ogun state so criticising the APC government too stridently would make for a very awkward father-son relationship.

This, in my view, largely explains why his public persona has turned from someone who previously spoke truth to power, no matter who is in government, to a tendentious commenter whose criticisms is in the form of soft balls at the present government and vitriol for the previous government.

So, no I don't think he is a "wailer" as he will continue to couch any criticisms of the government in the most mildest of forms.

What is special about what he said?

Interesting observation.

Special b/c he is a Buhari supporter.

He's simply an old fool.
