Tinubu Ignored My Advice” – Soyinka Says After Presenting 7-point Agenda To The President Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has revealled his private conversations with President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar before the 2023 elections. 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.

The BSF personnel, who are ever on high alert, got suspicious and a...

Service chiefs urged to relocate to North East for six months

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday met with the newly appointed Service Chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja with a directive that they should rise up to the nation’s current security challenges. The Coalition of Concerned Nigeria Security Experts (CCNSE) on Wednesday slammed the service chiefs for choosing to operate from Abuja, asking them to relocate to the Northeast, the epicentre of insecurity in Nigeria. The coalition expressed concern that two months after the security chiefs assumed office, insecurity was getting worse. Its national coordinator, Prof. Otedola Adekunle and national secretary, Dr Chris Aklo, challenged the security heads to live up to their responsibilities, saying that two months was enough for them to make some visible impact in tackling insecurity “Since the most anticipated appointments of the new service chiefs on January 26, 2021, we expected that by now, there would be at least a gradual turnaround in the security of the country, but it’s sad that ...
