Nigerian Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, expressed his dissatisfaction with the recent Nigerian elections during an appearance on the Roadmap 2023 program on Channels Television.

Soyinka described the elections as “not exactly the most edifying exercise that we’ve been through” and lamented the lack of restraint displayed by seasoned politicians.

Soyinka had been out of the country for several months and was shocked by the “horrendous narratives” that surrounded the elections upon his return. He noted that his trust in the political system had completely broken down as he read columns and saw Nigerian papers for the first time in months.

While he refrained from commenting on the electoral process, Soyinka stated that he was aware of what was happening in Nigeria and believed that the country was moving towards a situation where the existing mould was going to be broken. He added that there were signs that there would be die-hard opposition to the breaking of that mould.
