At the centre of it all, will all the gimmicks played by PMB sway the Yorubas to vote for him come 2019?

This is the grand question each and every one of them have to answer.

It will certainly be a decider to test the West.

Soyinka deserve an award for democracy as far as Nigeria democracy is concerned. Are they waiting to kill him before giving him?

But this same Soyinka was live at the show today. I thought he ought to have boycotted the party.
I think he was called to deliver a speech to eulogize buhari on how he is d best thing to happen to yoruba n d man went knwing he had d opportunity to tell buhari d truth face to face. Me think d decision wise. Can't u see many being silenced bc a respected yoruba said it and not d so called ipobians who have been called haters of d state for saying same thing. Hypocrcy I see.

The irony of June 12 democracy day by buhari is that the same man who is pretending to honor Abiola today served the very govt that jailed Abiola, a democratically elected president until he was murdered in 1998.

Buhari served Nigeria and Nigerians. The overrated cultist professor of English has come again.

I watched it live, and I must commend the prof for his bravery, he is a real man. Iam a full blooded Igbo man oh, but I must confess that most of our Igbo big men wouldn't have had the guts to say what wole Soyinka and falana said today straight to the president. Kudos to them. Cowardice or bravery is not limited to any tribe.

Soyinka is simply intellectually lazy but he is not aggressive idiotic pig of biafra.

Buhari never admire abacha,
He only told us the obvious bitter truth, that, as bad as abacha, as even the devil knows, is still far better than thief obj and ineffectual buffoon, that in 16yrs, both thieves never built roads like abacha did.

Is that difficult for intellectually lazy Soyinka to understand?

stop being silly pls.

Hmn! Had he (Buhari) not scuttled Shagari's government in 1983, maybe IBB wouldn't have done same for his military junta in 1985 and perhaps Abiola would have been installed as a democratically elected President in 1993.
There might never been Abacha and his ruthless dictatorship.

Soyinka should campaign for Oodua Republic.
We Yorubas don't want Nigeria anymore. We want Oodua Republic where we can develop at our pace. We don't want a country where everything is viewed with ethnicity. We don't want a country that share presidency among different ethnic groups...where one tribe thinks 'na my turn to rule', and the other tribe believes 'after you na me'. The world is moving and we Yorubas want to move along.
Oodua/Yorubaland Republic is what we want.
Am in solidarity with this

Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has told President Muhammadu Buhari that he cannot honour MKO Abiola in one breath and admire his tormentor Sani Abacha in the same breath.
Soyinka who spoke at the national honours investiture for heroes of democracy., said that although he understood Buhari’s official loyalty to Abacha, it shouldn’t take preeminence over the preservation of democracy.
“Dear Mr. President, you cannot honour Abiola in one breath and admire his tormentor in the same breath,” he said.Soyinka added that while the heroes of democracy were being recognized, the anti-democrats deserved some mention too.

Hmmmmmmmn.... events today @ Mko abiola investiture reaffirm my believe in one Nigeria .The speech frm prof wole soyinka, frank ikokoro, Hafsat Abiola n other well meaning Nigerians raised d Abiola core mantra of "Hope for Nigeria "....but m still awaiting a convincing step to really bid "farewell to poverty"which was d twin manifestos of mko 93..
Note.... This is a major achievement of this administration..
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

that is the only solution at the moment the biggest game changer would be wen a popular politician supports one of our secessionist movements
