Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, visited President Bola Tinubu in Lagos on Sunday, revealing that he presented a seven-point agenda toward moving Nigeria forward.
Speaking with journalists after visiting the President, Soyinka said, “I came here with a seven point agenda and we had a very thorough discussion on those items.”
The Nobel Laureate recalled that on his earlier visit to Tinubu, it was to tell him not to run for president, noting that the former Lagos State governor ignored his advice.
“My first visit was an embarrassing visit because it was to try and persuade him not to run for office, I think I had written about that. I Atiku and himself to leave the ground for young people. That was the last time we met five years ago. I call him secretly “olori kunkun” which means the stubborn one. He ignored my advice completely.
“I came to see him to find out how he is doing after neglecting my advice. I wanted to see how he and his wife are faring. I also came to wish them a merry Christmas.
Soyinka, however, refused to rate Tinubu’s performance in office so far, saying his assessment of the current administration will come after one year in office.
