Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, on Sunday said the myriads of problems confronting Nigeria have overwhelmed President Muhammadu Buhari, adding that the present administration could not tackle the multifarious challenges.
He also said the carelessness and negligence of the Federal Government had cost the country great fortune.
Soyinka, who clocked 85 years on Saturday, said this while hosting 85 pupils drawn from the six geopolitical zones of the country to mark his birthday at his Ijegba home in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
He noted that the inability of the administration to tackle the menace of the herdsmen had wiped away all the achievements so far recorded by it.
Soyinka said many lives had been lost due to the carelessness of the government, telling the pupils that “look at what is happening with the cattle all over the place. That is a security issue which should never have reached this level.
