The Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, has criticised the Nigerian police for planning to stop an anti-government protest scheduled for Monday. The protest was called by hip-hop artiste, Innocent Tuface Idibia, to highlight the failure of the current government to tackle several issues facing Nigerians. After a police threat that it could not guarantee the safety of the protesters and warning to Tuface to cancel the protest, the musician acceded. He announced on Saturday night that he had cancelled the protest for security reasons. Other organisers like the Enough is Enough, however, say they will proceed with the protest. In his reaction, Mr. Soyinka said, “An unnecessary but important reminder: the battle for the right of lawful assembly of citizens in any cause, conducted peacefully, has been fought and won several times over.” Read the Nobel Laureate’s full statement below: AGAIN AT RISK – THE RIGHTS OF LAWFUL ASSEMBLAGE. Yesterday (Saturday Feb 4), the media offered the nation a space of relief when it carried the expected news of a mutual accommodation reached by the organizers of the demonstration planned for tomorrow Monday February 6th. The theme in summary: public discontent with the state of the nation and its governance. From the beginning, the organizers had cited quite an extensive list of such areas of concern and demands for urgent attention. To my personal consternation, today’s (Sunday) the same media countered that announcement with a stiff repudiation from the apex of the Police command – the office of the Inspector- General. It is such a huge disappointment, and a disservice to the cause of democracy, tolerance of dissent, and principle of inclusive governance. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/222633-soyinka-speaks-blasts-nigeria-police-planning-stop-anti-government-protest.html |

Buhari extends sick leave , could remain in hospital for more than 4 months. According to section ... Sub section ... Of the 1999 constitution. A president is not supposed to be away for a period of 90days(3months). If it eventually happens, the vice president Osibanjo should be sworn in as President. Wole Soyinka watch ur back Osibnajo watch ur back Tinubu watch ur back Fayose watch your back Fani Kayode watch your back The Hausa / Fulani cabals are coming for u guys 2 Likes

Soyinka shud just look for a mat and join Buhari in London or wherever he may be(dont believe he's in London). Himself and some other zombies brought dis tyrant to power by making some gullible fellow believe he is the "messiah". He shud jus relax somewhere jare. tired of all dis nonsense. 2 Likes |

Soyinka has visited Buhari once or twice since assuming office. When asked what discussions he had with the President, he will just smile and say it's a "fruitful engagement" He doesn't think Nigerians should know what he goes to tell the President, yet he wants the Police to present their whole Intel on a cancelled planned protest to him. If you disappoint Nigerians and the journalists waiting for you hours outside to know what issues you discussed with our President, then the police has also disappointed you by just telling you " It's for security reasons" |

cummando:Everything has its own time. You were in diapers when he was staging his protests. If at your youthful age you still rely on the likes of Soyinka to start a protest for you then shame on you! He was even younger than you when he started protesting against ills in the society. |
