Wole Soyinka Says He Will Assess Tinubu’s Govt After One Year

Nobel Laureate and academic, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Sunday, said he would reserve all his observations about President Bola Tinubu’s administration until one year into his tenure, in May 2024.

Soyinka described this as his personal policy, saying this one-year delay gives the President enough time to “make up” for lost grounds.

Soyinka said this when he paid a courtesy visit to the President who is holidaying in Lagos.

Soyinka, who called Sunday’s appearance an “embarrassing visit” said he approached the President with a seven-point agenda which he declined to reveal.

He also noted that the last time he visited was to persuade him not to run for office.

Speaking further, Soyinka explained that he had asked Tinubu and  Atiku to please leave the ground so young people could run for office of the President.

Meanwhile, the Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, who also visited Tinubu in Lagos, urged Nigerians to remain patient saying the economic reforms would yield prosperity if sustained.
