HERE WE GO AGAIN! Buhari using ‘national interest’ as an alibi to undermine judiciary, says Soyinka
Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is hiding under what he described as a ‘commodious concept’ to flout decisions of the Nigerian judiciary.
Soyinka, in a statement on Thursday, said the President also clearly gave a deep thought to his travails under a military dictatorship and concluded that his incarceration was also in the “national interest.”

He said,
“Here we go again! At his first coming, it was “I intend to tamper with Freedom of the Press”, and Buhari did proceed to suit action to the words, sending two journalists – Irabor and Thompson – to prison as a reward for their professional integrity. Now, a vague, vaporous, but commodious concept dubbed “national interest” is being trotted out as alibi for flouting the decisions of the Nigerian judiciary.’’
