In an interview with Sahara TV, Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, said 'illegal, sinister and power-grabbers' are bent on
scuttling the country’s current democratic process, are agitating for an interim government and that president Jonathan knows these people.
“This is what bothers me deeply: There are people who see this as an opportunity for their own political and sinister activities in the country. Therefore, we are not even united against the dangerous enemy of the country. The elections themselves are being used as an opportunity of sowing bitter seed of discord and for power-grabbing.
“It is now an established fact that there had been moves towards scuttling the democratic process by instituting a so-called interim government. But the proof is there of some participants in meetings for the formation of an interim government. Why form an interim government when there is an electoral process?
"I went to President Jonathan and I asked him, and he was to all appearances outraged by the very suggestion. I remember he used an expression, ‘If such a thing is going on it is outside my wish or my will. After I have been elected by the entire nation, isn’t being the head of an interim government a demotion and an undignifying position?’
“Maybe there are forces in operation in this nation during this very critical period about which he knows of that is the answer which I could make and it is up to him to sort himself out in contending with these illegal forces,”
“I believe that these elections, going by his (Jonathan) body language… it is very difficult to penetrate truthfully and deeply into the minds of politicians… going by his body language, I think Jonathan has no intention of scuttling the elections.
“In other words, the elections would take place but what kind of elections would we have? And what might be the aftermath of the elections? He has repeatedly said, ‘I’m going back to Otuoke if I lose the election.’ I just hope we don’t wake up one day with our complacent attitude and find out that we, as a people, have been overthrown by very sinister, illegal and useless forces.” Soyinka said

ReplyDeletePhew! The issue of the interim government has been thrown at him several times, and several times he denied it.
ReplyDeleteNigeria is a project in God's hand, I could recall the day we marched to the National Assembly when the Aondoaka cabal held Nigeria hostage, we didn't march that day because of Jonathan, but because we want the right thing to be done.
No individual or group of persons are bigger than Nigeria.

DeleteI agree with him on this. So many wrong about GEJ body language, which makes him very difficult to understand especially in this electioneering period.

ReplyDeleteJust becux ure supporting a political party.
All these politicians don't care about you and I
They care bout their selfish interests. But
We are here cursing ourselves on their
Behave. Ignorant us.
Oh pls shut up Bitch! Why are you people so stupid to see the truth when it's staring at you? Everything must boil down to political selfish interest? Common!
DeleteThumbs up....... they dnt knw who we are and we here saying abusive words to ourselves....... The only we should do is to ask God to put someone that won't make us cry there.......It is well
DeleteOld man please quiet nd watch.........u are not a politician. Face your book nd teach Buhari how 2 pass WAEC and contest again.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Is this a Nigerian responding to Wole Soyinka like this??? Unbelievable.
DeleteEyaah, see hw butter u r! Guessed u haven't eaten today? So sorry. I feel ur pain! U such a coward tho! From ur comment it's clear Dat u r such a brainless fellow! I pity ur future!
DeleteShutup you two...if Wole is so smart and could really read body languages He wouldn't publicly insinuate the president is planning an interim government if he losses...yes it is very obvious judging from his body language that he is tensed and scared...but you must understand that this is Nigeria We'r talking about,he is not as dumb as Buhari to consider an interim.UN or ECOWAS will intervene,the world will ridicule him.BokinafasoForExample. Be it as it may,from the ongoing Jega Saga I expect the PDP to carefully follow up the electoral process on that day even go as far as announcing the winner privately before Jega says other wise,because I am certain goodluck is winning by vote (yea fuck you too).Back to the interim goverment (which is impossible anyways) Worst that could happen if Jonathan is announced loser is a seperation of the Northern a southern protectorate.Yes yes I can not guarantee you One Nigeria if you push GEJ away with such conspiracy.I know this so uncivil and silly in the hearing,but this is the real matter I tell you...If you guys were so liberal and Wanted the best for Nigeria and not power to the North why BUHARI,even my baby sister knows Buhari only stutters from the paper....We don't even hear the hell he's reading talk more of talking without his papers.I still maintain that GEJ has done poorly,but how on earth can an Uneducated man do better,it's not only by being a retired general,we can't toil with this country anymore

ReplyDeleteHe who av ear let him hear. Change is not what we want. We want a man with a conscience, a man wt vision, and dt man is GEJ! Vote wisely. Bc some hawks re bent in grabbing dt seat and turning Nigeria to a family business just like de av succeeded in turning Lagos to a family business. Even Ambode said dt in one of dia campaigns. That lagos is dia company, as if his father built it.

DeleteI don't understand this man's point o
ReplyDeleteWho is he referring to?
How will you understand since you support those that wants to surreptitiously impose an Interim Government. He is telling you that the likes of Tinubu, T.Y Danjuma, Obasanjo, Amaechi et al are clandestinely planning an interim Government in collaboration with some army personal.
DeleteHow would you understand? Ignorance is your strong characteristic
DeleteExactly sir. #ihavedecided to vote for #change

DeleteHe's speaking in parables...he should call names
ReplyDeleteIf they do something sinister we shall go into the streets and we will take back our country. The world has become a small place,there is no place to run or hide. We will hunt them, and bring them to justice. We shall reincarnate the drums in bar beach, drag and strip them naked and tie them to drums and publicly execute them. Enough is enough for these greedy bastards. The $56b Jonathan and diezenie have shared in just 6yrs is enough to build schools, hospitals and create jobs for so so so so many. Why are just these few have so much hate for the the people who sacrificed to have him elected in 2011? How dump or selfish can a leader be? If you vote this man in again, then you hate yourself. Take the bribe but vote for change. Vote for anyone...anyone BUT not pdp!
ReplyDeleteYou talk about taking to the streets, yet you forget that we Nigerians are an unfortunate mix of people... We fall into one of three categories: 1. Cowards - We are not ready to die for what we believe in.
Delete2. Sell-outs - We would fight for what we believe in... till ghana-must-go is exchanged, and then we abandon our values.
3. Brain-washed - members of this group are actually ready to die for an Ideal... Problem is, that Ideal is seldom theirs... It's almost always Ideals of a charismatic mad man.
We know that President Jonathan has a good mind....we also know those desperadoes who would do anything to hijack power...Their plans will fail by His grace.
ReplyDeleteTell them Soyinka all these politicians are so shallow minded individuals.......We pray this Election goes without blood shed
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm, naija God's own country father tk control o cum nxtwk saturday.

And if some of my country men again comes here to support the continuation.

DO U FEEL GOOD THAT A 20 BILLION DOLLAR IS MISSING
DO U FEEL GOOD THAT THEY SAID THEY SUBSIDIZE KEROSENE TO 50 NAIRA AND YET U STILL BUYS IT AT 130 NAIRA.
DO U FEEL GOOD OF ALL THE $200 BILLION DOLLAR COLLECT AS OIL REVENUE YEARLY SINCE LAST SIX YEAR, THE ONLY DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRAZY YOU HAVE IS REFURBISHMENT OF AIRPORT, BUILDING ALMAJIRI SCHOOLS, FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTION.

DeleteThank you! Well said my brother. Linda I wish u could copy this and make it an article on its own, as am in tears right now. God please give us courage to do something.
Delete@ Osinal, you are an absolute retard! I have been reading your comments all day. You have sold your soul to the devil. I bet you got paid peanuts to do this e rat job. You are in the class of peasants FFK talked about yesterday.
Delete#Sai Jonathan, Kai Buhari
DeleteAPC did everything right except one thing wc is using buhari as their presidential candidate. why can't they use a neutral candidate since they want change.the leaders of yesterday still want to be leaders of today.I can't see any thing associated with change in APC.the best candidate should take the seat...NB tired of PDP too.we need fresh minds.
ReplyDeleteYou can waste your vote on the dead brain then
DeleteLike every discerning person,the great Prof.Soyinka knows that Jonathan will lose the election...the question is,will GEJ agree to go back to Otueke after the election..or connive with sinister group to form interim government..
ReplyDeleteLol do u have sense at all?
DeleteThe truth of the matter is that our dear beloved country will be turned to a family package and off course hooligans will have a field day. Lagos State is a clear case study.
ReplyDeleteNB:
A pastor does not have any business mingling with these politicians.Our dear RCCG Osibajo, have you sworn to be loyal for the rest of your political career to the powers that be? We are just asking...
ABOKIDAWARRIBOY obviously lacks understanding of what the Prof said. some one pls help him interprete in the language he can understand...
ReplyDeleteThe worst will be if we allow the idea of Military take over pop up in the heads of our Generals
ReplyDeleteThanks Soyika, always saying it as it is - Goodluck mentioned his intentions but he should be responsible if people around him thwart this exercise.
ReplyDelete#smh - Buhari said he will build 4 Refineries in 4 years! why should we doubt him when he built 2 in less than 2 years while he was Head of State.
#smh - Why is PDP crying foul against Jega; when GEJ won in 2011 was Jega not there? We all voted for GEJ but he failed us woefully!!!
Sai Buhari.
This man's comments recently on national issues is beginning to make him lose values!! He is talking like a learned man that he is. I mean, he should use his intellect to build, unite his society not confusing everyone with English, abusing Mr. President. Make hin go rest jare!. I am even start hating him. Old age don dey catcham and he just dey run mouth like a Yoruba man that he is!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all know where killings emanate from after a particular individual failed to win election. Therefore, hope that the accord signed by both parties would hold. And I sincerely believe that no Nigerian living or dead would accept military rule in Nigeria anymore.
ReplyDeleteLinda, u really need to post GEJ's interview on BBC ooooo, let Nigerians know what GEJ is up to... He said authoritatively that he would win the election and have no idea whatsoever about how the funds/budget for security is being spent . The video has gone viral on FB
