Soyinka: President Jonathan is Nigeria Nebuchadnezzar

          


Professor Wole Soyinka took a swipe at President Goodluck Jonathan as a man who encourages impunity and compared Him to the Biblical  terrible  king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon at a press conference on Tuesday in Lagos
Soyinka attributed the National Assembly crisis that lead to the scaling of Gate by lawmaker to the President


He called his actions too dictatorial as an elected president, making reference to the Governors forum election when Governor Ameachi with 19 vote was deprived of been the chairman for someone with 16 votes,
He further recall preventing other APC  Governors from entering  Ekiti State to campaign for Governor Kayode Fayemi

He berated the inspector General of police Suleiman Abba, whom he accused of working for Jonathan selfish political Interest
He also commended the law makers for foiling Jonathan's coup by scaling the gate

He said, “The act of scaling gates and walls to fulfil their duty by the people must be set down as their finest hour. They must be applauded, not derided. If shame belongs anywhere, it belongs to the Inspector General of Police and his lavish adherence to illegal and unconstitutional instructions- to undermine a democratic structure, and one- to make matters worse-convoked in response to an emergency of dire concern.

“What sticks to this policeman (Abba) is worse than shame, it is infamy. Such a public servant deserves to be publicly pilloried, tried and meted a punishment that is appropriate to treasonable acts, if only to serve as a deterrent to others in positions of responsibility under the law. To demand less is to reduce ourselves below the status free citizens of a free nation.

“For this latest outrage, one in an escalating series of impunity, the buck stops yet again at the presidency and that incumbent, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, continues to surprise us in ways that very few have conjectured.”
