Nobel Laureate winner, Professor Wole Soyinka, has stated that President Bola Tinubu did not take to his advice that he should not run for presidency in 2023.
Soyinka made this known when he paid a courtesy visit to Tinubu at his Lagos home.
He said he was there to see how the President and his wife are faring after ignoring his advice.
The professor said he has submitted a seven-point agenda to the President during the visit he described as an “embarrassing” one.
While talking to reporters after the visit, Soyinka said: “I came here with a seven-point agenda. And we had a very thorough discussion on those items.
“Actually, it’s an embarrassing visit because when I visited him the last time, it was to try and persuade him not to run for office. I told Atiku and himself to please leave the ground so young people could run. That’s the last time we met about five years ago.
“So I came to see how he was doing after ignoring my advice. I came to see how both he and his wife were weathering Nigeria, and to wish them a Happy Christmas.”
