SOYINKA PROPOSES HALL OF SHAME FOR INFAMOUS NIGERIAN LEADERS

“We had a private conversation some time ago and l remember one of the things which l mentioned to you was this …l said you are fighting corruption.. how cometh that a notorious dictator, corrupt ruler, is honored by one of the most important avenues in the capital of Abuja, whereas, individuals like the martyrs of the struggle, philanthropists have not been honored. The answer you gave to me was not too satisfactory.”

Soyinka, however, stated that he was “knocked out of his throat” (pleasantly surprised) by the apology rendered by Buhari for the June 12 atrocities, declaring that Buhari cannot praise Abacha in one breath, then honour the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential polls, Moshood Abiola in another.
