In the study, we have seen that art and politics go hand in hand and the two are inseparable. At the end of this study it has been deduced that military intrusion into the politics of a state especially Africa countries is negative.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Wole Soyinka hails from the Yoruba land in the Southern part of Nigeria. He is a nobel laureate and has written in all genres of literature(prose, poetry, and drama).
He uses his works as an instrument for social mobilization and change.
Wole Soyinka as a democrat believes in an egalitarian society that is a society where everybody should be answerable to the law and justice is met out without considering the class of the individual. In fact, he believes in a society where there should be no class at all. Everybody should have equal rights in all ramifications.
Although, Soyinka is not much of a politician but those years in his country when absolute power was in the hands of the military he was not at ease because his dream society was not guaranteed under such leadership.
