Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has said Nigeria was headed for wreckage with the visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo by leaders of the All Progressives Congress.
Soyinka, in a statement titled: “Shipwreck ahead,” said the alliance with Obasanjo by the APC leaders could only lead to partition for the country.
The statement, issued on Sunday, reads: “An APC-led group, we understand, has been paying courtesy visits to former Heads of States. Would it be correct to state that their purpose is captured in the following Mission Statement? ‘Tinubu added that the APC had resolved to rescue Nigeria, appealing to Obasanjo to lead the mission. We’re resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria. We want you as navigator.’
“If this attribution is correct, may I urge you, as an urgent public service, to advise families to begin the stockpiling of life-belts for the guaranteed crash. Don’t forget to alert the coastguards—ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), AU (African Union), UNO (United Nations Organization) etc, to be on the alert for possible salvage operations. “If General Sani Abacha were alive today, would he also have been on the ship’s complement? As Captain perhaps?”
