Why I Won’t Assess Tinubu’s Govt Now – Soyinka
  • PublishedNovember 6, 2025

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has disclosed that he is not yet ready to publicly assess the administration of President Bola Tinubu, citing repeated misrepresentation of his comments.

The world-renowned writer and activist, in an interview with BBC News Yoruba published on Facebook on Tuesday,
said he was still taking his time and would express his perception of the Tinubu government when he deems it appropriate.

“I have been asked that question by several people,” Soyinka, speaking in Yoruba language, told his interviewer.

“I don’t want to answer because it seems as if there’s nothing one says that won’t be twisted, and I’m tired of that.

“So, I want to take my time. When it’s time, I will write my view on that,” he said.
