Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, says Nigeria is fast disintegrating, but the current administration has no solution to the various challenges facing the country.
Soyinka said this at a news conference held at Freedom Park, Lagos, with the theme: “COVID, Technology and Citizens banishment”.
“The government does not have a holistic grasp of the problems in Nigeria. If we are looking to this government for solution, then it means we are lost, ” he said.
“We are in a mess. This country is in a mess. It is disintegrating before our very eyes. This government is floundering.
“Piecemeal approach” by the government in tackling the issues confronting the country cannot work.”
He said the only solution to the myriad of problems the country is facing at the moment is a Sovereign National Conference, where he said various ethnic groups in the country would come together and find pathways to their mutual coexistence.
