Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole
Soyinka, has come hard on
President Goodluck
Jonathan for labeling the
fuel subsidy protest in
Lagos as sponsored.
In a statement yesterday,
Soyinka said Jonathan is
cut off from the people
and therefore does not
know how they feel.
He accused the president
of intolerance, which he
said, manifested following
the deployment of
policemen to take over
the ground where the fuel
subsidy rally was held.
He described this as a
violation of the right of
the people, as provided by
the constitution and
affirmed by the court.
Soyinka insisted that
Nigerians have the right
to gather and protest,
warning that there should
not be any future attempt
to stop them.
The statement reads: “The
most generous response
that can be given to
President Jonathan’s
recent statement on the
people’s fuel subsidy
protest is that he is
suffering from a bad
conscience.
“The worst, which I fear is
closer to the truth, is that
he is lamentably alienated
from the true pulse of the
nation, thanks perhaps, to
the poor, eager-to-please
quality of his analysts,
those who are supposed
to provide him an
accurate feel of the public
mood. Since I have had
the opportunity to contest
this perception of the
protest with him directly,
it is clear what kind of
interpretative diet he
prefers. The nation needs
all the luck it can get.
“The president sent in the
army and shock Police
squads to forcibly seize
and occupy grounds from
a demonstrating public, a
violation of the people’s
rights, as entrenched in
the constitution, a right –
as it happens – that has
been further consolidated
by a pronouncement of
the courts of law. This
should be seen as a grave
danger to democracy, and
a warning. Both the
participants, and those
who – myself included –
even though unable to be
present, lent both vocal
and moral support to the
demonstration, have been
maligned and insulted by
such reductionist
reasoning.
“The culture of public
protest appears to be alien
territory to President
Jonathan, which is
somewhat surprising,
considering the fact that
he has not only lived in
this nation as a citizen but
also served in various
political offices. He has
lived through the terror
reign of Sani Abacha
whose ruthless misuse of
the military and the secret
service did not prevent
demonstrations against
perceived injustice and
truncation of people’s
rights.
“Jonathan’s
pronouncements truly
boggle the mind. What is
this obsession with
bottled water, comedians
and musical artists? Must
demonstrators drink
water from the gutter? Is
protest no longer viable
when sympathisers cater
to their needs, supply
decent water and food
rations? And since when
have entertainers been
deemed a sign of
unseriousness in a protest
rally. Static or moving,
demonstrators boost their
morale in any way they
can, including dancing and
even mini-carnivals. Sit-
down occupation and
hunger strikes are also
legitimate public
weaponry against
unacceptable state
conduct and policies.
“It may interest the
president to know that
during the SNG protest
march on the legislative
houses, a march, not for
any individual, but for the
sanctity of the
constitutional rules of
succession, discussions
were on for the
acquisition of mobile
toilets for the next stage,
in case the protests
attained the momentum
of continuous
encampment. Presumably,
Jonathan would have
preferred to march into
office over a field of
human waste.
“What is especially
ominous in Jonathan’s
distortive re-visit of that
campaign is his attitude of
self-commendation, from
which one deduces a clear
intent to repeat the same
action if the people
choose to exercise their
right of assembly in the
future. It sounds warning
of a state of mind infected
by one of his predecessors
who was never weaned
of his military
antecedents, a
predisposition to
intolerance of dissent that
was expressed in mindless
muscularity and contempt
of judicial decisions.
“We should not wait for a
tragedy to happen before
we serve notice that
democracy is incompatible
with the arbitrary
deployment of armed
forces against a people
gathered or marching
peacefully in freedom,
articulating their
grievances with or
without accompaniment
of songs, clowns, water
sachets or bottled water.
“The reaction of the public
to attempts at military
intimidation is always
unpredictable –
government at the centre
should know its
limitations, act
responsibly, and refrain
from incursions that
override even the
expressed wishes of state
governors, and the rights
of a people rendered
fractious by decades of
misgovernment
. “Let there be no further
attempts at revisionism.
The Nigerian people’s
right to gather and protest
remains inviolate. Gani
Fawehinmi Park – and any
place of choice for a
people’s assembly – is a
people’s space. It should
never again

These are not the best of
times for residents and
motorists in the Federal
Capital Territory, Abuja as
long queues have
returned to all filling
stations in the metropolis,
thereby forcing the price
of a litre of fuel to N250
in the black market.
The resultant effect of this
unending scarcity is that
transportation fares have
doubled with many
passengers stranded in
motor-parks and car
owners abandoning their
vehicles in filling stations.
At the popular Central
Business District, which
houses the highest
number of filling stations,
long queues have taken
over major roads thereby
obstructing the free flow
of vehicular movements.
Some motorists and
passengers who spoke to
Saturday Sun decried the
unending scarcity of fuel
and called on relevant
government agencies to
remedy the situation.
“This is very sad and
unacceptable,” declared
Hassan Mohammed, a civil
servant in Abuja. “How
can we pride ourselves as
one of the biggest oil
producers in the world
and still can’t meet local
demands?
