Nobel Laureate Prof Wole Soyinka has explained why Peter Obi, the flagbearer of the 2023 presidential election, should not contest for the nation’s number one seat of power in 2027.
Obi, a former Anambra state governor, is the Labour Party’s candidate for the 2023 presidential election. Supporters of the LP and Obi are known as âObidientsâ.
As reported by The Nigerian Tribune, Soyinka criticized Obi and his team, describing them as lacking the competence to govern Nigeria based on their behaviour during the last election.
Soyinka also accused Obi of orchestrating online trolls who attacked him and other notable figures who questioned the Labour Partyâs campaign.
Soyinka said he hoped Obi would not contest the next election because he and he and his team had proved to be incompetent to lead Nigeria, SaharaReporters confirmed.
The Literary icon also narrated an instance when he knew that Obi controlled the Obidient movement trolling people with opposing views online.
In related news, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka said Nigeria needs to be decentralised for the people to enjoy the country more.
Soyinka said the country should follow the path of breaking up if that would solve the countryâs challenges.
The elder statesman said decentralisation would allow governance to get closer to the people.
