JUST IN: Prof. Wole Soyinka Speaks on Preferred 2023 Presidential Candidate

Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has denied endorsing Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Soyinka described as false a social media comment linking him to Tinubu’s support.

According to a statement from his media office, Nigerians should disregard rumours that Soyinka criticized political parties and politicians. “Soyinka did not make such a statement at any time or on any occasion.”

The statement reads, “It is merely the work of peddlers of fake news and falsehood who profit from misinformation to gain political advantages.”
