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. I told Atiku and himself to please leave the ground so young people could run. That’s the last time we met about five years ago. “So I came to see how he was doing after ignoring my advice.
