The Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as being under a trance.
Mr. Soyinka, who expressed frustration about what he described as the
unforced errors of the Buhari administration, made the comment at a
press briefing on the increasing agitation across the country following
attacks by armed herdsmen on farming communities.
When asked during the briefing what he would tell Mr. Buhari if he met him, Mr. Soyinka replied:
“I would say: Mr President, I think you are under a trance,” he said.
“The sooner he gets out of it the better. So many unforced errors are
going on,” he added.
Asked on the form of trance the President was in, the Nobel laureate
said, “I don’t know. So many unforced errors. Take for instance the
suspended Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme,
Usman Yusuf, reinstated by the President.
“What is that about? What is going on?”
