Buhari Should Start Talking Like A Leader. Wole Soyinka

MooWole Soyinka blast president Muhammad Buhari on Monday, he has emphasized how the president engage himself talking rather than tackling the situation facing the country.

 

The  Noble laureate professor  Soyinka who spoke during an interview session on News Day, an Arise TV programme,  has lamented how the current president refuse to take actions in solving the ravaging problems in the country.

“First of all he should start talking to people like a leader — and a leader who is awake to the realities of the situation. Then, let us see actions being taken,I’m tired of hearing things like ‘you will see differences in a few weeks’ time’. We are tired of that. He’s got to put his cards on the table and take people into confidence. He’s got to stop exuding a false confidence, because that kind of confidence is totally false. It is not based on realities, and we’ve got to see an acceleration of actions to retrieve this nation from the very edge. It is no longer a problem of the people, it is a problem of leadership, because the people have shown themselves ready to act, to save their own community.

He further stated that the  National Assembly are not doing enough to make the present Government to act, because they have power invested in them to move the president to act which they are not using 

”Members of NASS are not doing enough. If you study the constitution very carefully, you will realize that they have certain powers which they haven’t touched, There are certain areas they can compel this government to act the way it should, and that applies especially to governors — the governors themselves are too timid. I appeal to people to stop putting words in my mouth. If you think you can pressure me to speak by stealing my identity and putting words in my mouth on social media, you are wasting your time. Not only that, you are acting in a distorting way, At this sensitive time, I must warn Nigerians to stop playing around with such serious issues, otherwise they are going to lose the kind of support they have from people like me,” he added.
