Speaking after a “Christmas visit” to the president’s Lagos residence on Sunday, Soyinka said he had advised Tinubu and Atiku to drop their presidential ambitions for young Nigerians. Soyinka, however, said the duo neglected his advice. “I came here with a seven-point agenda. And we had a very thorough discussion on those items,” Soyinka said. “Actually, it’s an embarrassing visit because when I visited him the last time, it was to try and persuade him not to run for office.
