Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent actions showed he (Buhari) is in a trance.
The revered playwright particularly noted Buhari’s reinstatement of the suspended Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Prof. Yusuf Usman.
Soyinka, while reacting to a question on the three things he would tell the President if he meets him, stated, “I will say Mr. President you are in a trance.”
He added that the sooner the President got out of the trance, the better for the nation.
Asked the form of trance the President was in, the Nobel laureate said, “I don’t know. So many unforced errors. Take for instance the suspended Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Usman Yusuf, reinstated by the President.
“What is that about? What is going on?”
Soyinka had earlier held a press conference in Lagos on the state of the nation titled ‘Nomads and Nation: Valentine card or valedictory rites.’
