"English Literature Is Your Qualification Not Medicine"- Presidency Attack Soyinka For Comments On Lockdown

It read: “Yesterday, the esteemed Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka made comments on the legal status and description of 14-day lockdown announced by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Professor Soyinka is not a medical professor. His qualifications are in English literature, and his prizes are for writing books and plays for theatres. He is of course entitled to his opinions – but that is exactly all they are: semantics, not science. They cannot – and should not – therefore be judged as professional expertise in this matter in any shape or form.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said in Abuja.
