Noble Lauret ,professor Wole Soyinka has slammed the presidential and
governorship elections in Rivers state ..Speaking to Channels on Sunday
afternoon, he said
"If you talk about democracy, I am afraid, we are still below 40 per
cent.There is no question in my mind that what happened in Rivers
State during the presidential and assembly elections are, well,
complete atrocious and the finger points definitely at the kind of
middle character that I am talking about."
"Elections are supposed to enable us to avoid response in violence to
mis-governance; you know, you wait when you are dissatisfied or your
rights have been abused; citizens wait for that moment when they can
exercise their voice and then some bunch of criminals calling
themselves governors, calling themselves generals, calling themselves
ministers, conspire to thwart the will of the people,"
