Nobel
laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, speaking at the 2015 edition of the annual
Visio of the Child (VOTC) programme on
Thursday in Lagos, themed ‘’The Road to Sambisa’’, disclosed he had 60 reasons
not to vote for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The
60 reasons were, however, not adumbrated.
Soyinka
also noted he would not encourage anyone to vote for the continuation of his
administration, which he concluded had failed the tenets of leadership.
He
said, “I will not vote and I will not
encourage anyone to vote for the continuation of this government, simply
because your colleagues numbering over two hundred were kidnapped, ” Soyinka
told students at the event.
He
lamented that the Chibok girls kidnapped on April 14 of last year were sent on
a mission to acquire education, but ended up being kidnapped.
According
to him, “and the government of this nation failed to show leadership. So,
anyone who says after that event that I will vote or cast my vote or encourage
anyone to vote for this regime must be living in Sambisa forest.”
