Why General Muhammadu Buhari Cannot Rule Us Again - Prof. Wole Soyinka This is what Prof. Wole Soyinka had to say about those clamouring for Buhari to be their president: It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition. Reasons the tired retired general with vast and versed experience in losing elections can never ever be my president: He is a remorseless murderer; he killed Ogedengbe and others by applying a law retroactively. He promulgated Decree 20 that effectively shackled freedom of speech. He denied Tai Solarin his medications for asthma. He showed his ethnic bigotry and rabidly morbid disdain for a particular section of the country by his partial treatment of the principals of the legitimate government he toppled. He placed Shehu Shagari under house arrest but sent Alex Ekwueme to Kiri Kiri Prison. For some of the other reasons why Buhari should never ever be elected president read this piece from Wole Soyinka.
