These Governors want a failure to give us another failure for another Eight years – Wole Soyinka speaks on Buhari choosing his successor

Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka has described as a breach of democratic contract the decision for President Muhammadu Buhari to choose his successor.

Soyinka made the call during an interactive session organized to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Abeokuta Club on Tuesday, August 2. He noted that the President should be impeached

He threw a question to the gathering whether the President should be impeached or not and majority of the people who comprised members of the club and other dignitaries raised their hands to that effect.

He said; “Very often, the grounds for breach of contract, I think we all agree, is mis-governance and one of the ways of breaking this kind of contract we know even before the duration of a contract is known as impeachment.

“Democracy indicates a contract, that is why the candidate puts on a manifesto. On the basis of that manifesto, the candidate is either accepted or rejected.

‘What this governors are telling us that after a failure has occupied the seat of government for eight years, that failure should give us another failure for another eight years. So those who feel that those governors who went and asked Buhari to give us a successor should also be impeached, can I please see your hands up”
