Soyinka has rejected any attempt by Nigerians to dictate the timing of his assessment of President Tinubu’s government.
Speaking on a popular Channels Television programme today, he asserted his independence, making it clear that he would not be bound by external schedules.
Soyinka emphasised that he would only offer his evaluation when he deems it necessary and when he has substantive observations to share, dismissing the notion that he should adhere to a pre-determined timeline, such as the one-year mark of Tinubu’s presidency.
Soyinka asked Nigerians not to work on his timetable for him, saying he would speak on Tinubu’s government when he had something to say.
The academic said many conscientious persons had been speaking and that assessing any government is a collective responsibility of like-minded persons.
