Nobel Laureate and pioneer Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) chairman Professor Wole Soyinka, in an interview with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) periodical, "Zero Tolerance", referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as a "born-again" phenomenon who is set to make restitution for his past errors, in relation to the Nigerian political sphere.
Speaking on Buhari's unspoken apology to Nigeria for his past misdeeds, he said: "He (Buhari) has not brought himself round to apologise; if he had done that, I might have been less ambiguous about him. But I think from my findings about him, he is a born again phenomenon. If I am wrong, well, too bad. Though I don't believe in 'born-againism' but I think this may be an exception."
Talking about the statement made concerning stealing and corruption, by former President Goodluck Jonathan at a talk which took held before the 2015 presidential elections, he said: "The media should have challenged President Jonathan to define what stealing is, when he said that stealing is not corruption. How can a public figure, an intelligent person like that, come out to tell the public that corruption is not stealing? Then you should have asked him, what then is corruption? The media should have challenged him."
