Nobel Laurette Prof Wole Soyinka has thrown his weight behind the impeachment of President Muhammadu Buhari by some national legislators.
Soyinka gave this indication yesterday in Abeokuta while speaking during an interactive session organised to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Abeokuta club.
The famous writer argued that going by insecurity in the nation, the legislators have the patriotic duty to remove the president.
He said that Buhari has breached the contract with the electorate by his poor performances in office especially in the area of security.
Said Soyinka :’Democracy indicates a contract, that is why the candidate puts on a manifesto. On the basis of that manifesto, the candidate is either accepted or rejected. Very often, the grounds for the breach of contract, I think we all agree, is mis-governance and one of the ways of breaking this kind of contract we know even before the duration of a contract is known as impeachment’.
Soyinka also blamed state governors for enthroning a culture of failure.
