Eedris Abdulkareem explains why Wole Soyinka isn’t criticizing Tinubu

He expressed disappointment that Soyinka, who is famous for criticizing previous governments, is now staying silent about the current administration.

He pointed out that Soyinka is not speaking out against President Bola Tinubu, even though the country is facing challenges, possibly due to their personal connection.

“He [Wole Soyinka] has been very quiet lately. I know he has a good relationship with Tinubu so we know why,” Abdulkareem told SRTV.

Last year, when Prof. Wole Soyinka was confronted over his silence in the face of the current hardship in the country, he stated that it was “too early” to judge President Tinubu’s administration and promised to assess it after a year in office.

Daily Post reports that it has been almost a month since President Tinubu’s administration marked its one year in office but the Nobel laureate is yet to give his assessment of the administration as promised.
