Why are you hiding the state of your health? Soyinka asks Buhari

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to disclose the true state of his health.


Soyinka made the call in Lagos while addressing journalists. He said, “Why is the president hiding his state of health? He’s supposed to understand he’s public property, me I’m still private property, that’s why I’m not in Aso Rock.”

“Once you are in Aso Rock, or you occupy a similar position, you have a responsibility to come out frankly to your citizens. Guarding your state of health like Donald Trump is guarding his tax returns is not what we expect from a Nigerian president.

“Let him address the nation and stop all these speculations which creates unnecessary political manipulations among other things.”
