While speaking to journalists in Lagos on Friday, Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to make his state of health public to Nigerians, adding that the current speculations about the president’s health is “unnecessary.”

“Why is the president hiding his state of health? He’s supposed to understand he’s public property, me I’m still private property, that’s why I’m not in Aso Rock,” Soyinka said.

According to Premium Times, the professor of Comparative Literature said; “Once you are in Aso Rock, or you occupy a similar position, you have a responsibility to come out frankly to your citizens.

“Guarding your state of health like Donald Trump is guarding his tax returns is not what we expect from a Nigerian president.

“Let him address the nation and stop all these speculations which creates unnecessary political manipulations among other things.”
