*Soyinka[/caption]While he faulted the Presidency for trying to absolve the President from the crisis, he said "the perception out there in the world is that he bears a vicarious liability in the crisis".
Besides, he said the indifference exhibited by the President creates an enabling environment for his followers to act on his behalf.
