NOBEL LAUREATE, Professor Wole Soyinka has
condemned the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State
saying that democratic grounds are being eroded in
the state.
Soyinka, also took a swipe at the First Lady, Dame
Patience Jonathan for her over bearing tendencies
just as he said President Goodluck Jonathan should
call her to order.
Professor Soyinka said this at a state of the nation
address, Thursday in Lagos.
While he faulted the Presidency for trying to absolve
the President from the crisis, he said "the perception
out there in the world is that he bears a vicarious
liability in the crisis". Besides, he said the
indifference exhibited by the President creates an
enabling environment for his followers to act on his
behalf.
