Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said he is not ready to publicly assess the administration of President Bola Tinubu, explaining that his comments are often misrepresented
Speaking in an interview with BBC News Yoruba published on Facebook on Tuesday, the renowned writer and activist said he is taking his time and would share his opinion on the Tinubu government when he considers it appropriate.
“I have been asked that question by several people,” Soyinka told the interviewer, speaking in Yoruba language. “I don’t want to answer because it seems as if there’s nothing one says that won’t be twisted, and I’m tired of that.”
“So, I want to take my time. When it’s time, I will write my view on that,” he said.
A respected public figure and social critic, Soyinka has been known for his outspoken stance against successive Nigerian governments, including those of former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan and the late Muhammadu Buhari.
However, more than two years into Tinubu’s administration, he has yet to publicly share his assessment of the government.
