For 5 days Jonathan didn't know that Morocco Ambassador was Withdrawn until I told him – Prof Soyinka

                    

In a blockbuster new interview, Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka has told The Guardian (UK) that until he told President Goodluck Jonathan, the Nigerian leader did not know for an entire five days that Morocco, a friendly but angry country, had withdrawn its ambassador from Nigeria.


“He jumped up as if his seat was on fire,” Soyinka said of the moment Jonathan learned of the situation, adding that it was that night that the president made a public statement about it for the first time. 

Speaking further about Jonathan's many troubles, Prof Soyinka said:
“So when I say that there is a force around, I know what I’m talking about. 
"There is a very sinister force in control and it is that sinister cabal which is responsible for caging him in and showing him what they think he should know about and keeping away from him things which are not in their interest, and this for me is the most dangerous situation that any nation can be in.”
