Sodiq OyelekeSome Nigerians have expressed different views over calls for Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, to lead a fresh protest against the purported increase in the price of petroleum in the country. Many Nigerians also doubted the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s insistence that there won’t be any hike in petrol price in March. @iam_Kingbuchi said, “Wole Soyinka saw how terrible Buhari’s government was from 1983-1985 and he still campaigned for him. One of them, @OgbeniDipo tweeted, “Where is Wole Soyinka, why is he not protesting?” Wole Soyinka is 86. “I will never ask Wole Soyinka to come out to protest, that would be disrespectful to an 86 years old granddad.
