Chinua Achebe Once Again Rejects "National Honour". President Jonathan Reactsww

Literary giant, Chinua Achebe, has once again rejected a conferment on him of the national honour of Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) by the federal government. In a statement today, Achebe explained why:

Coming as it does, against the background of the widely acclaimed electoral reforms undertaken by the Jonathan Administration, the claim by Prof. Achebe clearly flies in the face of the reality of Nigeria’s current political situation.www.mannastores.com
