Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka yesterday during a

Soyinka said he is happy that he encouraged people to vote for Buhari, because
his Government can’t be anyway compared to that of Jonathan.
He said;
“We were left with two credible contestants in terms of
catchment area for the nation. We had reached, in my view, the bottom. I became
convinced that if this country underwent four more years under President
Jonathan, the country would run aground completely. I looked at the record and said
this cannot go on, this has to stop.
this cannot go on, this has to stop.
“Then I looked at this man who had contested elections three
times before and said he would not contest anymore and then decided to throw
his hat in the ring. I talked to people and I said do you know what you’re doing?

“And after weighing all the options, I said let’s try a new
one. And since in electoral terms, he was the one, I guardedly, with
reservations, announced that no, not a continuation under Jonathan.
“And so very reluctantly, I want this on record, because I
made it quite clear, I weighed the two of them and I said this nation stands a
better chance under Buhari. And what has been coming out now? Look at all that
has been coming out? Look at the figures (loot) which virtually hammer one into
the ground just the sheer enormity of the robbery of this nation that is
getting exposed progressively. It shows that we did not make a bad choice.”
