Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka believes Nigerians felt more secure during the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan than under President Muhammadu Buhari.
He says the low sense of security Nigerians feel is the major reason behind the clamour for state and community policing.
Soyinka said this on Monday in Lagos after a press briefing to unveil the second batch of students travelling to Lebanon for studies.
The programme is organised by The Cedars Institute, Lebanon, in collaboration with The Wole Soyinka Foundation.
Soyinka also said there are “yawning gaps” in the current administration, adding that the past few years have been that of “economic disaster” for the average Nigerian.
“Take simple security for instance. The average citizen feels less secure now than he did a few years ago; that is evident. When people talk about state police, there are reasons for it,” he said.
