Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has urged the Tinubu-led Federal Government to stop treating traditionalists as second-class citizens. He also stated that a national public holiday should be declared for traditionalists in the country. He made the declaration on his 89th birthday celebration organized over the weekend. Soyinka said traditionalists had been neglected for too long in the nation, and that it was high time they get their recognition.

He said traditional religions deserve annual holidays like Islam and Christianity “We’ve had enough, We’ve had enough of being second-class citizens in this nation. So, equal time, equal space, we demand public holidays,” he said. He said the national holiday should be observed by state governments, local governments, and the Federal Government.

We called you out and rather than hit the nail on the head, you deviated lol. What we asked you to do is to comment on the Ilorin situation since you know a lot about Fascists. Don't be a hypocrite or even coward. That will be enough, but if you may, you can also address us on the issue of threatening the Judiciary.
