The literary icon said he has submitted a seven-point agenda to the President during the visit he described as an “embarrassing” one.
Professor Wole Soyinka has revealed that he warned President Bola Tinubu not to contest for the Presidency.
According to him, Tinubu ignored his advice.
Soyinka said this when he paid a courtesy visit to Tinubu, at his Lagos home.
He said he was there to see how the President and his wife were doing after ignoring his advice.
The literary icon said he has submitted a seven-point agenda to the President during the visit he described as an “embarrassing” one.
“I came here with a seven-point agenda. And we had a very thorough discussion on those items,” Soyinka told reporters after the visit.
“Actually, it’s an embarrassing visit because when I visited him the last time, it was to try and persuade him not to run for office.
“I told Atiku and himself to please leave the ground so young people could run. That’s the last time we met about five years ago.
“So I came to see how he was doing after ignoring my advice. I came to see how both he and his wife were weathering Nigeria, and to wish them a Happy Christmas,” he said.
