Like most Nigerians, Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, is fed up with the failed government under Goodluck Jonathan's administration.
According to Sahara Reporters, Soyinka on Thursday declared that no one should vote for President Goodluck Jonathan since there has been a failure in leaderhship.
He reportedly made this declaration at
the 2015 edition of Vision of the Child (VOTC) event in Lagos whic was themed “The Road to Sambisa”, a yearly
programme inaugurated in 2012.
Here's quoting Soyinka as he spoke to the students present:
“I will not vote and I will not encourage anyone to vote for the continuation of this government, simply because your colleagues numbering over two hundred were kidnapped.
And the government of this nation failed to show leadership. So anyone who says after that event that I will vote or cast my vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime must be living in Sambisa forest…
There has been a failure of leadership. Our children whom you represent today have been betrayed…
After that dereliction of duty, after that failure of leadership, after that betrayal for our future, for anyone to think or to put words in my mouth suggesting that I will vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime is a travesty of intelligence.”
