Soyinka reveals how Obasanjo allegedly helped Boko Haram



Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has accused former President, Olusegun Obasanjo of contributing to the emergence of Boko Haram.

Soyinka explained that Obasanjo failed to stop a Northern governor from creating what he termed “theocratic state”, hence he contributed to the emergence of the terror group.

Featuring on BBC’s Hardtalk anchored by Zeinab Badawi, Soyinka also pointed out areas President Muhammadu Buhari failed to include his “slow response” in dealing with the terror of marauding Fulani herdsmen across Nigeria.

Soyinka stated this while stressing that Buhari has failed in the area of security.

He insisted that Buhari was repeating the mistakes of his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, who failed to deal with the Boko Haram menace.

He said; “Obasanjo contributed to the emergence of Boko Haram by not preventing the first governor in one of the northern states from establishing a “theocratic state”.

The Nobel Laureate said the president failed to act because he was “compromised,” by his ambitions to continue in office beyond the second term limit.

  1. They created theocratic state and vowed to kill all the Biafrans in order for Biafra state not to emerge. Nigeria has expired and should be divide. I can also see that we don't have law makers in Nigeria bc if we do,what are they waiting before they force Mr president to provide his DNA and his weac result before he think of going in for another 4 yrs bc he will still use his boko haram soldier to kill and make his way there. Nigerians must know that a stitch in time serves nine.
