Soyinka Takes A Swipe At Fayose, Advises Buhari by alberson(f): 1:05pm On Dec 10, 2015 |
Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has described
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state as a tout.
Speaking on Wednesday, December 9, at the 10th
anniversary of the annual Wole Soyinka Award for
Investigative Reporting by the Wole Soyinka Centre
for Investigative Journalism, he said Fayose
attacked judges publicly without any consequences.
He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop
impunity especially by the security operatives in the
country, Today.ng reports.
The Nobel Laureate also urged the government to
ensure the laws of the country are respected,
including the order of the courts.
He noted that the Nigerian military was in the habit
of assaulting and harassing members of the public,
which according to him does not portray the country
as a democratic country.
Soyinka said: “There must be an end to unlawful
detention. If the court has granted someone a bail, it
must be honoured, I don’t care what the offence is.
“Anybody or institution that does this can only be
compared to that tout in Ekiti. That Fayose, he is a tout.
He descended on the judges and attacked them openly
without any consequence .”
He therefore, challenged security operatives in the
country not to take laws into their own hands.
Soyinka also insisted that the report of the inquiry
into the recent attack by soldiers on the BRT buses
in Lagos must be made public.
He said the claim by the authorities that the matter
had been dealt with militarily was not tenable.
The colourful ceremony held last night at the
MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos. Erstwhile Chairman
of the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), and Professor of Political Science, Attahiru
Jega, who played an outstanding role in the success
of the 2015 elections and veteran broadcaster
Bimbo Oloyede were honoured with the Anti-
Corruption Defender Award and the Lifetime Award
for Journalistic Excellence, respectively.
The award was first held in October 2005 to
encourage the development of investigative
journalism in the Nigerian media through rigorous
scrutiny of human rights violations, regulatory
failures and corruption in the public and corporate
sectors of the nation. |

Clearly, fayose cannot be classed into any less a category, as stated by the Prof. The mediocre's public display, is mostly comical to me, nothing more. 3 Likes |

Shoyinka is afraid of addressing the issue. He is accusing Buhari in a way and tactically by saying Courts laws should be obeyed, no matter what .He knows its Buhari that refuses to release alledged offenders despite court granting them bails. Shoyinka has no confidence to tell it strait to buhari's face Coward, deceived MKO and sought asylum abroad .afterwards. Yeyeman |
