Ahead of the 2023 elections, Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, has backed the six weeks ultimatum given to the President Muhammadu Buhari by some federal lawmakers to find a solution to terrorism or be impeached.



Soyinka made the call during an interactive session organized to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Abeokuta Club on Tuesday, August 2. Soyinka, who was the session’s moderator, noted that the President should be impeached because he had "breached the contract of democracy."


He said; "Very often, the grounds for breach of contract, I think we all agree, is mis-governance and one of the ways of breaking this kind of contract we know even before the duration of a contract is known as impeachment.

“Democracy indicates a contract, that is why the candidate puts on a manifesto. On the basis of that manifesto, the candidate is either accepted or rejected.



Soyinka, however, threw the question to the gathering whether the President should be impeached or not and majority of the people who comprised members of the club and other dignitaries raised their hands that Buhari be impeached.



Soyinka also faulted state governors who went to President Buhari to ask him to give Nigerians a successor. He said;

''What this governors are telling us that after a failure has occupied the seat of government for eight years, that failure should give us another failure for another eight years. So those who feel that those governors who went and asked Buhari to give us a successor should also be impeached, can I please see your hands up''

Peter obi will be the best thing that will happen to nigeria when elected

One of the Yoruba people wey get sense, no wonder he is a Nobel laureate

A suicide bomber and a man without bladder cannot rule

The Prof is always daring and precise, one of the rare traits of us from the gate way state.

Osinbajo is the next president of Nigeria.

Tell them

Tell them

Truth hurts the folks who detest it & heals those who seek it.
Hope some people won't label Prof an IPOB member for speaking truth to power

Tell them Sir
We no go let them use their emilokan put us for trouble again.

Soyinka is IPOB!

I guess this man is "another Igbo" in the SW.

Obi or the PDP wining elections in the SW is not correlated to Igbo votes in the region.

They will soon link him to biafra or ipob. Whenever you tell them the bitter truth, they will try by making you look stupid.

Affliction will not arise a second time

HEAR YE HIM.
