Mr Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has urged Professor Wole Soyinka to apologise to President Buhari. Stating the he had no basis to criticize the president.
Prof. Soyinka had in an interview on Thursday said that Buhari was not in charge in Aso Rock.
“I have said this before. I do not believe there is really anybody in charge in Aso Rock.
“I have 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,” Soyinka said.
Mr Omokri in a tweet on his Twitter handle, @renoomokri said:
“Soyinka’s current behaviour is not honourable. He is not a victim. He is an enabler. He wants to eat his cake and have it. He wants to run with the hare and hunt with the hound. A man with such a distinguished youth shouldn’t choose to end with so sad a chapter.
“Wole Soyinka isn’t some thirty something year old who did not witness the first General @MBuhari misrule of 1983-85. He knew Buhari for what he is. Yet, he campaigned for him. Today, he attacks him. That is not honourable. Accept responsibility for your project!
“Wole Soyinka should not complain about General @MBuhari. He should accept responsibility for bringing the worst ruler in Nigeria’s history to power. He should thereafter apologise, and honourably bow out and live out the rest of his years preserving his legacy.”
