Did the professor really say this... which means he's insulting some of the Nigerian electorate. Everyone has a right to vote for who he or she feels will salvage the situation of the country, Even though one chooses to vote Shekau... hitler or Idi Amin, It's their choice. I still doubt this though, Cos a learned man of his calibre can't stoop so low.

PDP has not always lived up to expectation. They are not a great political party by world class standard.

Jonathan Goodluck is not a charismatic leader nor a great leader!

But it is too easy to criticise PDP in isolation without suggesting who the alternative is.

Compared to Democrats or Republicans in USA, PDP is rubbish! But I will vote PDP 10 times before APC and I will also vote Jonathan 100 times before Buhari.

So the Professor has to provide what in his wisdom is a relative assessment of PDP in a Nigerian context. You can't just benchmark PDP against nothing and say " do not vote PDP".

Please who do we vote instead?
If PDP continue to rule this country for four years more, I bet you, you will not be able to train your children because of the level of poverty we must have found ourselves.

The country is making progress under GEJ

Whenever GEJ leaves he will leave a country better than he met! That's what counts

It's about what u build not who you tear down

I guess you were not born then or you were living in Somalia.

FYI, Soyinka was a prominent critic of the Obasanjo regime including his selection of Yar'Adua.

You are such a big _retard! Google up some of Soyinka's anti-Buhari topics, buffoon.
You are d biggest dullard I've ever seen. Did I mention buhari in my post?, is buhari d alpha & omega of APC?. U must learn to analyse issues objectively. I'm not absolving PDP of their failures, but I want a situation where the nobel laureate also criticizes d APC & dr respective state govts constructively. Or is he telling us that their governors and governments are flawless?. His body language, utterances, presence & romance wt APC givernors leave no objective mind in doubt that he's for d self acclaimed "progressives". And like someone rightly said the conscience of the nation (gani fawehinmi) is since dead. He criticized obj & tinubu alike when it was necessary. I remember he once even said tinubus AD was Alliance for Destruction. Even Femi Falana who pretends to be Ganis successor finds it difficult to be non partisan. Have u ever heard Femi or Soyinka criticize any APC govt? As for me, I've since started seeing soyinka as a partisan politician. And for ur info, am neither a supporter of Jonathan & would've loved a situation whereby d opposition gives us a better candidate which they don't have among d five contenders. So, I'd rather pitch my tent with a known devil.

According to Professor Wole Soyinka, "Only four sets of people can vote for the PDP:

(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 the above terminal sicknesses"

It's a pity that this man is tumbling downwards before our eyes ,meddling into dirty political games and allowing himself to be used in this shameful manner.
A man who once stood for truth
Who suffered for the truth and was tortured for the truth
Now a shadow of everything he stood for
What a sad thing to behold

And it hurts
When he said ( in the height of condemnations from all and sundry) that patience Jonathan had every right to be Perm sec in bayelsa in inabsentia I knew something was amiss,I suspected he was know being bankrolled by aso rock
After his meddling in the Amaechi saga I knew the man had changed employment and lost it completely
Amaechi sacked elected LGA chairmen,Soyinka said nothing but came swinging at patience Jonathan
A man who has been married thrice taking a swing at someone's wife
So APC is his better alternative ?
The same APC where a man bought a bed for 50 million naira amidst months of owed salary and pension
I believe Nigeria's conscience died with the death of Gani Fawehinmi RIP
Soyinka is turning out to be a big disgrace in his old age
He is now like that cellophane we see on the expressway
Without a will
Trailer will pass,it will rise and follow it a while and then come down,tipper will pass same thing
Okada sef will pass,it will fly up in the air and say here I am send me

The challenge is our idea of democracy which is "where do I get ny bread buttered" and not who can govern better.

What is the difference? I am not being sarcastic here, from a leader's perspective; both are the same.

NB: [i]Buttering[i/] my bread: Making me have a better life ..... food, shelter, basic amenities, etc

Better governance is still the same thing.

In essence, most people will vote for you because of what they get from you and not how you can eventually improve the economy of the state/nation.

We have to keep trying.. Till we get the right person
We can't settle for less
I love change, not the APC Change.. But change in general
Every new govt comes with new ideas and at one point will praise the past administration
I think having GEJ for another four years will be so boring, because it can't be better than his previous 4 years
Or maybe this time, he will completely remove the remaining subsidy, and Nigerians even his supporters will start crying again

God help NIGERIA
