Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to disclose his state of health to Nigerians, stating that the President is a public property while also describing the speculations surrounding the President’s true state of health as avoidable.
The Nobel laureate said Buhari’s failure to publicly disclose his state of health had increased political manipulations in the country. Soyinka said, “Why is the President hiding his state of health? He’s supposed to understand he’s public property; me, I’m still private property, that’s why I’m not in Aso Rock (Presidential Villa).
“Once you are in Aso Rock, or you occupy a similar position, you have a responsibility to come out frankly to your citizens. Let him address the nation and stop all these speculations which create unnecessary political manipulations among other things.”
