Buhari should make his health status public - Wole Soyinka

Prof Wole Soyinka

Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to publicly make available health status to Nigerians.

While talking with tye newsmen in Lagos, on Friday, April 28, 2017, Prof Soyinka said the president should stop all manners of speculations about his health because there is no need for such.

Soyinka said: “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.”
