Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has urged Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, to ‘apologise’ for saying President Muhammadu Buhari was not in charge of Nigeria.

DAILY POST had reported that Soyinka stated this during an interview on PlusTv Africa on Thursday.

Soyinka said: “I have said this before. I do not believe there is really anybody in charge in Aso Rock.

“I have been studying the trend over the past year and a half, and I believe this president is not in charge of this nation, in so many aspects and directions.”

Reacting, Omokri in a tweet on his official Twitter page on Friday, said Soyinka should not complain about President Buhari, adding that he should honourably apologize and live out the rest of his years, preserving his legacy.

He wrote: “Wole Soyinka should not complain about General @MBuhari.
