Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has lashed out at those saying he is the one who installed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Many guys have repeatedly said this especially on social media.
Because Soyinka had, in 2015 said he considered (President) Muhammadu Buhari the painfully preferred out of the two non-standard leading candidates – including Goodluck Jonathan – each time he condemns Buharis’ policies or programmes, the ‘critics’ say he has no grounds to do so.
Some insist he should rather apologising for ‘imposing’ the man on the country.
He, however, seized the opportunity of an interview on ‘Channels Television’ on Monday to address the matter.
According to him, those who accuse him of bringing Buhari are morons whose parents should apologise over.
He said, “When people talk about Wole Soyinka installing Buhari, they are talking rubbish; they don’t know what they are talking about. They are talking from ignorance. When I think of the governed themselves, I ask myself, ‘What am I doing among these people that they don’t understand that if somebody misrules, you have a right to tell people not to vote for him?’
“So, when I hear Wole Soyinka was the one who installed Buhari and he should apologise to the nation, I say, ‘Your parents should apologise to the world for inflicting morons like you on the world.”
