Muliple award winning Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, has described President Buhari as a born-again phenomenon in Nigerian politics.

In an interview with EFCC's periodic magazine, Zero Tolerance, the celebrated novelist said although Buhari is yet to apologize for some of the things he did in the past, he has accepted some of his mistakes and has paid some debts to the Nigerian community.

"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," Soyinka said.
