Wole Soyinka Speaks On Voting For President Buhari In 2015

Nobel Laureate winner, Wole Soyinka has on Thursday said that he did not endorse Buhari in 2015.

Soyinka stated during a press conference in Lagos that he did not vote on election day in 2015.

He explained further that he only asked Nigerians not to vote for Goodluck Jonathan.

He said: “It is false to say that I supported the election of Buhari.”

Soyinka said that it is his right to vote for anyone he pleases and if the person in question fails to get the job done, he is entitled to say it.

Recall that Soyinka, in 2015, had said: “All such attributions are fabrications by faceless, often self-appointed agents of deception, and should be publicly pilloried.

“Whenever I choose to declare support for a candidate – as is my electoral right – I shall ensure that I deploy a medium that places my authorship beyond dispute. Internet habitues, Social networks etc are urged to be less gullible, and avoid becoming cheap conduits for the deception industry.” 

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu. Read more
