\"MAYDAY!<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Professor Wole Soyinka<\/a> on Thursday said he did not believe that President Muhammadu Buhari or anybody was in charge in Aso Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nobel laureate stated this during an interview on PlusTv Africa, maintaining that decentralisation remained the solution to the nation\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made the comment while responding to a question on the recent letter by Umar Dangiwa, retired colonel and former military administrator of Kaduna, addressed to Buhari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Umar in the letter accused Buhari of making lopsided appointments, alleging that the president had a knack for appointing people from his section of the country into office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soyinka said, \u201cFirst of all, I was appalled by the silence that followed this revelation. I think those who are responsible for this criminal lopsidedness should be punished. It is not sufficient just to discuss it. It\u2019s criminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have said this before. I don\u2019t believe there is really anybody in charge in Aso Rock<\/a>. I\u2019m sorry to say this. I\u2019ve been studying the trend over the past year and a half and I believe this president is not in charge of this nation, in so many aspects and directions. I\u2019m convinced he\u2019s not really and totally with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so serious. It is not the fact alone, we know the history of this. We know what it has caused the nation and we know it isn\u2019t over yet. And you say you are launching an enquiry. That\u2019s not enough. This man is not in charge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
