You cannot say Soyinka is beating the drum of war or he is an alarmist – Afenifere

Pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, has said that  Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka is not beating the drum of war or he is an alarmist   with his statement and interview he granted the BBC on the herdsmen crisis rocking the South-West.

According to the Afenifere National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, he said: The Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, is (well-) known. You cannot say that he is beating the drum of war or he is an alarmist. People are painting the reality that is on the ground. If what is happening in the South-West today, let’s say some Yoruba boys had gone to do one per cent of that in the north, there would have been a war in this country by now.

Soyinka had said, “We may enter a phase of serial skirmishes which may get more and more violent and develop – I hate to use the word – may develop into a civil war and a very untidy and messy one at that. That is my biggest fear.”

We are all going to become slaves in our land, Soyinka warns Buhari
