Controversial singer Eedris Abdulkareem has alleged that Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka is refraining from criticizing President Bola Tinubu despite the country’s hardships due to his personal relationship with the president.
He lamented that Soyinka, known for his fierce criticisms of previous administrations, has been unfairly quiet during the current government.
“He [Wole Soyinka] has been very quiet lately. I know he has a good relationship with Tinubu so we know why,” Abdulkareem told SRTV.
Last year, when Prof. Wole Soyinka was questioned about his silence regarding the ongoing hardship in the country, he responded by stating that it was “too early” to evaluate President Tinubu’s administration, promising to assess it after a year in office.
Reports state that almost a month has passed since President Tinubu’s administration marked its one year in office, yet the Nobel laureate has not provided the assessment of the administration as promised.
