Soyinka, 'I Informed The President About Morocco'. by Lekewatt(op): 7:41am On Mar 30, 2015
In a blockbuster new interview, Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka has told The Guardian (UK) that until he told President Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian leader did not know for an entire five days that Morocco, a friendly but angry country, had withdrawn its ambassador from Nigeria........ Prof. Wole Soyinka “He jumped up as if his seat was on fire,” he said of the moment Jonathan learned of the situation, adding that it was that night that the president made a public statement about it for the first time. “So when I say that there is a force around, I know what I’m talking about. There is a very sinister force in control and it is that sinister cabal which is responsible for caging him in and showing him what they think he should know about and keeping awayfrom him things which are not in their interest, and this for me is the most dangerous situation that any nation can be in.”

Source?

It is obvious so many things are wrong with the Jonathan-led administration but over time, he has refused to do-able with people who are bent on destroying the nation.

Crush the cabal or not, either way, they will bring you down. Is the President not in a difficult situation as the election results are being released? He would have brought down the cabal and history won't forget him. I just wondered what he would be remembered for!
