Fulani Herdsmen: “No One Needs Your Sympathy”- Wole Soyinka Blasts Buhari

1 Min Read

Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka had some scathing words for President Buhari over the issue of the Fulani Herdsmen saying that no one was in need of sympathy but would rather see some action.

He said this while speaking at a dialogue organised by Ripples Centre for Data and Investigative Journalism in Lagos.

Speaking on Buhari, he said; “I get impatient when I hear things like Buhari has failed to go and sympathise with the people of Benue, with the people of Nassarawa, with the people of Dapchi or wherever,” he said.

“Who needs sympathy? Is it sympathy that will reorder their broken lives? Is sympathy the issue? We are speaking here of one commodity that is fundamentally human deserving, justice.

“There should be an internal measure to avoid repeat. We are speaking here of a president that will respond with massive action and not showing up at the arena of human desecration to shed any unjust tears, but give orders that the bloodthirsty terrorists are brought to book.”
