The agenda of the meeting described as a

Soyinka is known as an arch enemy of ex
president Olusegun Obasanjo and claims he has
no respect for the Mr Obasanjo
The agenda of the meeting described as a
private one was not made public and the
Presidency did not issue any statement on it.
As he emerged from the President’s office after
the meeting, the Nobel Laureate was visibly
surprised to see State House correspondents
who were already laying ambush for him in front
of the Press Gallery.
“I didn’t come to see you people,” he said as he
attempted to break through a barricade set up
by the journalists.
When it became clear to him that the reporters
would not relent, Soyinka said, “I came to
discuss national and international matters,
general matters, that’s all!”
When further probed about the details of the
discussion, he said he would not divulge such.
Clearly not comfortable with press interview,
Soyinka declared, “I will be holding a press
conference in about a week. You can ask me
any question then, but now, please I will just like
to get away.”
With that the journalists made way for him to
leave the premises.
