Eedris Abdulkareem, the controversial Nigerian singer, has made a new claim about Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka.
He asserted that Soyinka is refraining from criticizing President Bola Tinubu despite the country’s hardships due to his personal relationship with the president.
Abdulkareem expressed disappointment that Soyinka, known for his fierce criticisms of previous administrations, has been notably silent during the current regime.
“He [Wole Soyinka] has been very quiet lately. I know he has a good relationship with Tinubu, so we know why,” Abdulkareem told SRTV.
Last year, when Soyinka was questioned about his silence regarding the country’s current hardships, he responded that it was “too early” to judge President Tinubu’s administration and promised to provide an assessment after a year in office.
According to the Daily Post, nearly a month has passed since President Tinubu’s administration marked its one-year anniversary, yet the Nobel laureate has not delivered his promised assessment.
