Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, says he’s unperturbed and indifferent to the religion practice by those who will be at the helms of affairs of the country next year. <\/p>\n

The literary arbiter said he doesn\u2019t care if Nigeria\u2019s next president, vice-president, and Speaker of the House of Representatives are all from the same religion and village.<\/p>\n

Soyinka<\/a> noted that the same faith ticket won\u2019t be a problem in a \u201cnormal society\u201d and that Nigeria has not attained such a \u201cnorm\u201d.<\/p>\n

The 88-year-old playwright spoke on Channels Television\u2019s Newsnight, a pre-recorded interview aired on Monday.<\/p>\n

Soyinka was responding to a question on the controversy generated by the the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC)<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t give a damn if the president, the vice-President, the speaker, etc. all come from the same village, they have the same religion, they belong to the same tribe,\u201d Soyinka said<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIf, however, it is transparently, absolutely, unarguable that is a kind of genius breed that has been donated to the nation and to the world, as long as the capability of the individuals who are into governance is proven, and it is quite clear that there is no alternative, that is my position.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, we are talking about a society which is normal, which institutions are normal\u2026Is Nigeria normal?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

Soyinka\u2019s comments came months after APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, had announced former governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate.<\/p>\n

Tinubu and Shettima are Muslims, a development that has continued to attract criticisms from the Christian Association of Nigeria the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
