Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has advised former President Olusegun Obasanjo to desist from struggling to restore Nigeria to the path of sanity and moderate rectitude, describing him as ‘objectively unfitted’ for the role.

He urged him to instead head for a monastery.

Soyinka said, “…I know that deep inside, there is a soakaway pond of personal insecurity struggling to be drained.

I have only one demand: keep away from movements struggling to restore this nation to the path of sanity and even moderate rectitude. End your hijacking propensity.’’
