Soyinka refers to Tinubu as ‘Olori Kunkun’, presents 7-point agenda
In a clandestine rendezvous that sent shockwaves through political circles, Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, stormed Lagos to meet with President Bola Tinubu on Sunday, armed with a mysterious seven-point agenda aimed at propelling Nigeria into an uncertain future.
Addressing the media in the aftermath of the closed-door meeting, Soyinka cryptically stated, “I came here with a seven-point agenda, and we had a very thorough discussion on those items.” The enigmatic nature of this agenda left the public speculating about its contents and implications for the nation.
Recounting his earlier attempt to dissuade Tinubu from the presidential race, Soyinka revealed, “My first visit was an embarrassing visit because it was to try and persuade him not to run for office.” He referred to Tinubu as the “olori kunkun,” meaning the stubborn one, highlighting the former Lagos State governor’s defiance of his counsel.
The laureate’s second visit, ostensibly a check on Tinubu’s well-being and a Christmas wish, masked deeper intentions. Soyinka shrouded his assessment of Tinubu’s performance in secrecy, stating, “I am adopting the same principle this year. At the end of one year, come and ask me the same question again.”
As Soyinka unveils his cryptic seven-point plan and maintains an air of mystery regarding Tinubu’s future in Nigerian politics, the nation braces for the seismic impact of this behind-the-scenes alliance. The “olori kunkun’s” political fate hangs in the balance, with Soyinka’s silent scrutiny promising an explosive revelation after a year of political maneuvering.
