Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has described as false the confidence that, he noted, President Muhammadu Buhari had been exuding.
He said such confidence did not match the realities on ground.
Speaking on ‘AriseTV’ on Monday, Soyinka said it was time Buhari started taking concrete actions that would solve national problems.
Soyinka said: He said: “First of all, he should start talking to people like a leader — and a leader who is awake to the realities of the situation. Then, let us see actions being taken.
“I’m tired of hearing things like ‘you will see differences in a few weeks’ time’. We are tired of that. He’s got to put his cards on the table and take people into confidence.
“He’s got to stop exuding a false confidence, because that kind of confidence is totally false. It is not based on realities, and we’ve got to see an acceleration of actions to retrieve this nation from the very edge.
“It is no longer a problem of the people,; it is a problem of leadership, because the people have shown themselves ready to act, to save their own community.”
