Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has said that President Bola Tinubu’s nationwide address on Sunday failed to address the attacks on #EndBadGovernance protesters by security agencies.

Soyinka made the observation in a statement on Sunday following Tinubu’s address to the nation. The #EndBadGovernance protests continued on Sunday, marking their 4th day, as demonstrators voiced their frustrations over the country’s deepening economic hardship.

Soyinka said, “I set my alarm clock for this morning to ensure that I did not miss President Tinubu’s impatiently awaited address to the nation on the current unrest across the nation.

His outline of government’s remedial action since inception, aimed at warding off just such an outbreak will undoubtedly receive expert & sustained attention both for effectiveness & in content analysis.

My primary concern, quite predictably is the continuing deterioration of the state’s seizure of protest management, an area in which the presidential address fell conspicuously short.
