Controversial Nigerian singer, Eedris Abdulkareem, has claimed that Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, is not criticising President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the current economic hardship in the country because of their relationship.
Recall that Soyinka, when confronted last year over his silence in the face of the current hardship in the country, stated that it was too early to judge Tinubu’s administration and promised to assess it after a year in office.
However, it is almost a month since President Tinubu’s administration marked its one year in office, but Soyinka has yet to give his assessment of the administration as promised.
In an interview with SRTV, Abdulkareem lamented that Soyinka, known for his fierce criticisms of the past administration, has been unfairly quiet with the current government.
He said, “He [Wole Soyinka] has been very quiet lately. I know he has a good relationship with Tinubu so we know why.”
