The Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Wednesday dismissed reports making the rounds on the endorsement of certain candidates ahead of the 2023 elections.
Soyinka made the clarification in a statement titled: “Season of Fakery Galore.”
Stories emerged in media recently that, the playwright had endorsed some persons as his preferred candidates for next year’s general election.
His statement read: “One can only hope that the public has learnt to identify fake news and join in the urgent task of exposing and disgracing these despicable touts.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I have not even thought 2023, much less inserted candidates into coveted positions”. The statement concluded.
