Prof Wole Soyinka warns Nigeria against Presidential Choice
« on: February 17, 2015, 12:06:08 PM »
PROFESSOR Wole Soyinka has called on Nigerians to be prepared to deal with new betrayal by any ruler with the same kind of passion, commitment and understanding as they did with former military dictator, late General Sani Abacha, saying “we cannot continue this cycle of repetitious evil and irresponsibility.”

The Nobel Laureate said this while speaking with Will Ross, in an interview on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) radio, early on Monday morning.

Soyinka, speaking on the forth coming election, warned Nigerians to be wary of making a wrong choice, warning that “the way you fight a civilian misrule is different from the way you deal with people like Sani Abacha.”

“All I know is that if a wrong choice is made, we must all be prepared and we should start preparing to go back to the trenches whatever it takes,” Soyinka said.
