GEJ Is A Phenomenal Change From Before- Prof. Wole Soyinka by FreddywellsNGN(m): 10:09am On Jan 04, 2015
There is something significant about President Jonathan.He is the first president without any ties to the military mafia.All his children school in Nigeria...No skyscrapper in the corners of Nigeria belongs to him, even a seven storey building.

If we cannot find a better,young alternative , then we must remain with him until we can groom someone better.
Dont be deceived! Vote smart! Vote GEJ

These were the words of the Prof. Nairalanders, what do you think about this?

I'm still left to wonder why the APC jettisoned bright young minds like Fashola, Kwakwanso, Adam Oshiomole, etc to choose an old man. What worries me more about GMB is not even his age but the age of his ideas; e.g, I will stabilise oil price.

These are not the words of the Wole Soyinka. In case you are suffering from amnesia, let me remind you his words:
Nothing is more unworthy of leadership than to degrade the system by which one attains fulfilment, and this is what the nation has witnessed time and time again in various parts of the nation, the recent affront against the legislative chamber being only the most blatant and unconscionable,

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going, but Buhari and his associates only presented themselves as magicians to the electorates to solve Nigeria's common challenges.

well said. few months ago, the prof. said corruption and impunity is very rampant in GEJ's administration compared to others who have been there before ...The question is : why the recommendation now?

You lied, this is what he had to about Jonathan:

Professor Wole Soyinka has said:
“Only four sets of people can vote and support Goodluck Jonathan
1. Those who are intellectually blind.
2. Those who are blinded by ethnicity.
3. Those who are blinded by corruption and therefore afraid of the unknown, should power change hands.
4. Those who are suffering from a combination of all of the above terminal sicknesses.”

And he further added this concerning Jonathan on his wife PEJ.

To the APC, all that matters is "numbers".
They saw in Buhari, neither wisdom nor intellect, but "12 million automatic votes from the North"

"Politics is a game of numbers" is a popular phrase they emulate both in their words and actions. That's why a rotten, expired political corpse like Timipre Silva is considered a "progressive" today because he's in APC. It's why a PDP governorship aspirant can decamp from PDP to APC, and in less than 24 hours, become the flagbearer. It is why a party like APC can accuse PDP of bringing "16 years of failure" to Nigerians, yet run to seek advice from "navigator" Obasanjo, a man who was in charge during 8 of those 16 years. Ain't it funny?

APC, as a party, reeks of demon feces. The foul stench of a puss-filled sore on the anuss of integrity.

That is all they are.

Yes, politics is a game of numbers; if it wasn't PDP wouldn't dishonestly insist on making 15 a majority over 19 during the governors forum election.
As for the navigator i.e. OBJ, well if he wasn't relevant the Clueless one wouldn't have sent the his party chairman (or something like that) along with some of his governors to prostrate flat on the floor begging for forgiveness and support.

Wole Soyinka has not recommended anyone. PDP and their e-rats are best ignored most of the times. The statements by OP can better be put together by a Grade 6 student and far from how Prof. Soyinka will deliver any message.

It is a bit naive to believe a quote you saw on the PDP's fan page on Facebook.

For your information, WS never issued that speech.

Nice one! I want to also believe the professor was seeing the workings of the federal government from outside when he made those assertions against the government.

Haven't said that, can Buhari be an alternative to GEJ in a free and democratic society like Nigeria of today?

My answer is a total NO
