According to Soyinka, President Jonathan was brazenly exhibiting tyranny and impunity in office.
But addressing Soyinka’s swipe on Jonathan, the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe in a text message to State House Correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, said “the administration of President Jonathan prides itself as the most liberal, keeping faith with adherence to the rule of law and tolerance”
According to him, Soyinka was playing the ostrich, deliberately ignoring people who were actually exhibiting impunity.
He said:
“Soyinka is playing the ostrich as he has deliberately ignored people who are actually engaged in impunity.
“For instance, Soyinka had failed to reprimand Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers who is the king of impunity.
“Our eminent professor also sadly plays the ostrich as he failed to reprimand Amaechi who is the national champion of impunity and official recklessness.’’
