Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has knocked President Muhammadu Buhari for praising former dictator late Gen. Sani Abacha while honouring Chief M.K.O Abiola at the same time.

Prof. Soyinka spoke at the Presidential Villa during the conferment of posthumous award of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) on the presumed winner of the June 12 presidential election, the Late Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola.

"Stop confusing Nigerians. In one breath you extol Abacha, in another breath you honour MKO. How can you extol Abacha who if he were alive today would be in the ICC (International Criminal Court),” Soyinka said during his speech.

Soyinka says he was “knocked out of his throat” by the apology tendered by Mr Buhari for the June 12 atrocities of Nigerian past dictators who were responsible.

The president also award Abiola's running, Baba Gana Kingibe and the late human rights lawyer, the Late Gani Fawehinmi, with Grand Commander Order of the Nigeria (GCON).

President Buhari had also declared June 12 as National Public Holiday.

The regime of the self-styled military president, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, annulled the June 12, 1993 presidential election widely adjudged freest and fairest in the nation's history.

Talking from both sides of his mouth

Thanks baba prof

another asslicking afonja just wanting to be relevant...

maybe he wants Buhari to honour him with GCFR too and declare his birthday as public holiday. Rubbish

Here's my stance.

That is The Truth!!!

Abacha was the Chief of Defence and Minister of Defence under IBB. Whatever IBB did, he did so in synegy with Abacha's whims. Abacha was the Dragon that the Yorubas must pray to keep in eternal Damnation. May his Soul rot in hell.

should I answer you?... thinking...
NO, its a waste of time

Saying it as it is.....

It was all a political gimmick by the dullard to gain sympathy from the south west...
Only the smart ones from the region can decipher it and will not be fooled by an illiterate dullard...

Buhari can not easily fool a region that has the highest number of Profs in the country....
