Chibok: Soyinka backs FG’s acceptance of US offer Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Tuesday backed the Federal Government’s acceptance of United States offer to provide assistance for ongoing efforts to rescue the abducted students of Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State. He spoke on a CNN programme on Tuesday. The Nobel Laureate did not know when the Federal Government engaged the United State Government. According to him, President Goodluck Jonathan should have asked for the US assistance much earlier in view of the seriousness of the situation. “I don’t believe in false pride. The problem has been allowed to fester for too long. We are dealing with monstrosity, the kind we’ve never known before. ” The situation has gone beyond the capacity of the federal government and it has to be internationalized, ” he stated.
