The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described the position of Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka on the Lagos-Ibadan train service as the biggest endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ongoing effort to develop as well as modernise the country’s railway system.
The group said in a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke that in spite of their skewed misgivings, many government critics cannot run away from the infrastructural development the Buhari administration is deploying across the country.
It described the comments made by the Nobel Laureate in the viral interview as the biggest third party endorsement of what the government is doing and added that it was worth more than what any government official could have said on the project.
BMO also wondered how the Nobel Laureate could conveniently brush aside the existence of the present government after taking a ride in the Lagos-Ibadan train and showering encomiums on it.
The group termed it as disingenuous and expressed surprise that he opted to be oblivious of the administration that put the train service in place.
The group however assured Nigerians that President Buhari would continue to confound critics with his single-minded commitment to making the country better than he met it.
