Nobody In Charge In Nigeria – Soyinka
Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka

Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has expressed that Nigeria lacks visionary leaders to govern its affairs.

He disclosed this on Wednesday during the launch of his new book, ‘Chronicles of the Happiest People on Earth.’

Speaking on the state of the nation, the literature professor said the year has also been a pessimistic one for the country.

He said though there were natural issues that resulted in the “repugnant and negative” mood in the year, leadership also failed the country.

Soyinka insisted that he does not believe President Muhammadu Buhari is in charge of the country.

“With the turbulence that characterises year 2020, and as activities wind down, the mood has been repugnant and very negative’, he was quoted to have said.

“I don’t want to sound pessimistic but this is one of the most pessimistic years I have known in this nation and it wasn’t just because of COVID-19, no. Natural disasters had happened elsewhere but how have you managed to take such in their strides?

“Was calamity as a result of human negligence or as a result of malignant activities when people find themselves under the control of other beings which I am afraid what most Nigerians find themselves in, it is like you don’t know from where the blow would descend.

“That is not the way a nation should be and that is not the way the citizens should exist. Situation has reached a point where you are not very sure of where you are going and where you will end it.”
