‘Why Buhari’s government cannot unite Nigeria’ – Soyinka

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari’s government is unable to unite Nigeria due to structural failure.

Soyinka announced this on Saturday, at a book reading and signing in Abuja for two of his books, titled: “Trumpism in Academe” and “Chronicles of the Happiest People on Earth”.

The Prof. was responding to former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, who asked if he could write a story that would inspire unity among the various tribes in the country.

In response, Soyinka claimed Nigeria had lost a key opportunity to unite.

“We had a critical moment and we lost that moment. The moment when this country could have come together. Will another one come? I don’t know. Right now I don’t see it under this government quite frankly.

According to him, “There is a failure, a systemic failure in present governance and I don’t know who can put it together”.

Soyinka however insisted that Nigeria should remain one entity.
