Prepare For Mass Protest Over Subsidy Scam, Soyinka Tells Nigerians-NAN
Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, says the Farouk-Lawan report shows that Nigerians have been dehumanized.
Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, on Monday urged Nigerians to get ready for another determined protest over the fuel subsidy scam.
Mr. Soyinka said in a press conference organized by the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) in Lagos that revelations from the subsidy probe dehumanizes Nigerians.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that controversies continue to trail the report of the fuel subsidy probe which was submitted to the House of Representatives by the Farouk Lawan-led Committee last week.
“I have studied the figures revealed by the probe and I pinch myself to be sure that I am really living in the real world.
“Nigerians are being bludgeoned into sensitivity by sheer excessive corruption by public officials.
“We are being treated, not even as second class citizens, but excessively dehumanized,” Mr. Soyinka said.
He said that Nigerians must be ready to come out and demand an end to the insolence of corruption to which they have been subjected for long.
The Nobel Laureate said that further inquiries on the subsidy scam must be made public and televised live.
“An open examination of what is going on is what is needed now. Let us see those involved attempt to exonerate themselves from this guilt,” he said.
Mr. Soyinka urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), to immediately launch the prosecution of all those involved to prevent Nigeria from being a laughing stock in the world.
“So far, we have not heard any of the figures disputed by relevant government parastatals in the oil industry.
“The facts on ground are enough for the EFCC and ICPC to establish a prima facie case against those indicted,” he said.
