Soyinka Talks Though On Yoruba Nation, Says FG Should Apologise To Igboho
In his comment on the current situation of Nigeria where many Nigerians are agitating for freedom out of Nigeria as a country, Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, says it is not criminal or illegal for anyone to express intention to leave any federation.
Soyinka, who spoke during an interview with newsmen on Monday urged the government to apologise to Igboho.
He subsequently gave examples of people who left a federation or a union to form or join another state including the Bakassi people of Southern Nigeria who seceded to Cameroon.
He also condemned the midnight raid by the Department of State Services on the Ibadan house of Yoruba activist Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho, last Thursday.
According to him, “How can you place the will for separation as a criminal act? That kind of language doesn’t exist in the constitution, it doesn’t exist in law. It does not exist in the catalogue of immoralities because it is not an immoral act or position to say that you want to stop being part of an entity or you want to join an entity.”
