I never made comment on northern domination of Nigeria, says Soyinka | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
Soyinka said the former DG had fallen victim “of Nigeria’s fake attribution industry.” Akinterinwa, who is also the current Director General of Bolytag Centre for International Diplomacy and Strategic Studies , had, in an article published in a national daily, quoted Soyinka as saying northern Nigeria will continue to control the government, no matter who becomes President because they created a fraudulent constitution and population.
“The statement attributed to me in his essay is not mine. It belongs to the sharp practices of Internet trolls with their own agenda, who however, lack the balls to answer their fathers’ names. There is an appropriate name for them, but we shall avoid using it here. ‘Northern Nigeria was in charge of the government when Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan were President. Even if you make Igbo President, northern Nigeria will still control the government. The best solution to Nigeria’s problem is for us to negotiate our existence’.”
