Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has denied endorsing the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu. Soyinka described a social media remark linking him to Tinubu’s endorsement as false.
A statement by his media office said Nigerians should disregard reports that Soyinka issued a message denigrating political parties and politicians. “Soyinka did NOT at any time or on any occasion issue such a statement.
“It is simply the work of peddlers of fake news and falsehood, who profit from misinformation to gain political advantages,” the statement reads.
Wole Soyinka is a Nigerian playwright, novelist, poet and essayist in the English language. He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, for “in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashioning the drama of existence”, the first sub-Saharan African to be honoured in that category.
