Make Your Health Status Public – Wole Soyinka Urges President Buhari

By Farouk Mohammed

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to make his state of health public to Nigerians in other to put a stop to ”unnecessary” speculations.


 

Soyinka made this known when he spoke with newsmen on Friday in Lagos.

”Why is the president hiding his state of health? He’s supposed to understand he’s public property, me I’m still private property, that’s why I’m not in Aso Rock.

”Once you are in Aso Rock, or you occupy a similar position, you have a responsibility to come out frankly to your citizens.

”Guarding your state of health like Donald Trump is guarding his tax returns is not what we expect from a Nigerian president.

”Let him address the nation and stop all these speculations which creates unnecessary political manipulations among other things,” he said.
