Noble Lauret ,professor Wole Soyinka has slammed the presidential and governorship elections in Rivers state ..Speaking to Channels on Sunday afternoon, he said
“If you talk about democracy, I am afraid, we are still below 40 per cent.There is no question in my mind that what happened in Rivers State during the presidential and assembly elections are, well, complete atrocious and the finger points definitely at the kind of middle character that I am talking about.”
“Elections are supposed to enable us to avoid response in violence to mis-governance; you know, you wait when you are dissatisfied or your rights have been abused; citizens wait for that moment when they can exercise their voice and then some bunch of criminals calling themselves governors, calling themselves generals, calling themselves ministers, conspire to thwart the will of the people,”
Absolutely true

ReplyDeleteElection in my polling unit in Rivers state started with guns shot from PDP thugs before the intervention of the military police...PDP used police to destabilize election in Rivers state..I stand with them that election in Rivers state should be cancelled-Pst.Chekeleke
ReplyDeleteArrant nonsense! This is unbecoming of this man. U lost my respect ever since u started beefing GEJ and playing backyard politics! Like seriously! Must he come out all the time to showcase his hatred? What exactly did they do to you? Instead of u to go shave ur ugly bear bear, U are fighting a gentleman like GEJ. God is watching u. Longer throat! U think we don't know what u r aiming at but believe me u will not see kobo fr Buhari.
DeleteOh shussshh old man! Why are talking about Rivers? What happened to the other 35 states? Oh! Let me guess... your irresponsible daughter just had a child for Amaechi Abeg face all your books and dictionary. Plus the fact that we don't want your sea dogs cult here. We are trying to eradicate cultism you want to force your own on us. You can only deceive those who don't know you grandpa
ReplyDeleteIt's well,bt apc shld leave river's state.
ReplyDeleteYeah right!
ReplyDeleteApc should go and rest in Rivers state! The same way Pdp should go and rest in Lagos state too
ReplyDeleteAny state that apc lost is always considered as rigged.You can see the spirit of sportsmanship pdp aspirants are displaying by accepting defeat.Now,it is left for the winner to prove the change they preach.

DeleteWhen the underage voters saga took place in the northern part of the country what was your stand?? Wole Soyinka please talk to the hand ..!!!!
ReplyDeleteWole should just shut up! He's losing it! Haba! His double standards is quite repugnant! Your son in law have lost! Your largest source of remuneration has gone! Suck it up and move on! You've never said the ills in other places and never commented on GEJ's heroic act, but this! What where you thinking? That APC will win R.S? Haba! Wole, Haba! Move on! Tinubu will take care of your financial needs. Don't bother.
ReplyDeleteWhen PDP loose they concede I have not heard of one APC loser that called to congratulate his opponent is this truly the change
ReplyDeleteThis cultist should better go and hide this his rugged face, always talking against PDP,i dont know what PDP did to him,
ReplyDeleteD should respect himself! I've never see his critics against other States.
ReplyDelete*man*
ReplyDeleteTruth is bitter Baba leave them
ReplyDeletePeople can always see through this high class hypocrites. Selective criticism is as low as it gets especially for the supposedly learned.
ReplyDeleteSoyinka is good, when it comes to moral, he doesn't come close to Achebe. A man who continuously refused to be compromised.
Soyinka well has lost all his respect as an unbiased umpire and it's a matter of time before he comes to the village square naked.
point of Note, Buhari is Hausa Fulani, when he will come for Soyinka, i will be here waiting.
As if he's not corrupt too. Shift abeg
ReplyDeleteAPC wins....the will of the pple... PDP wins....it was rigged...
ReplyDeleteI just dey look una mouth....The Rigging in Lagos for the APC deserves an award...
My local govt, majority of the polling units PDP won but on T.V, APC won in my own Local govt...Yet one oldman is talking trash...
I can'just say y this man is campaigning against pdp and Riverstate pdp faction. Are u not biased? U wud ve even pretended by including other state where rigging took place in ur critics but no u wudnt bcos that is nt ur business. My question is, Wat exactly do u want? The oil money? U still want to keep benefitng from the loot tru Amaechi's alleged boy. Pls in the best of ur interest both u and ur entourage should accept defeat cos that time of Rivers oil loot has come to an end. The earlier u accept it, the better 4 u and ur Oga Amaechi
