Everything Said In My Name On Social Media About Election Is Fake - SOYINKA

Noble laureate professor, WOLE SOYINKA has distanced himself from social media statement alleged to have come from him concerning the 2023 elections.

  Soyinka spoke during the World poetry day with Wole Soyinka, organised by providus bank on Tuesday in Lagos

  "Ever since the electoral thing began I have not made one public statement not on behalf of any candidate, not on the proceeding, not on any candidate, not on INEC, not on  former presidents  and yet they are garbage attributed to me witj my photography pasted on it. Its just amazing, it incredible that such identity thelf can continue unchecked for so long," he said.

  Recall, during the electioneering season, the orgenarian debunked reports that he discribe former president OLUSEGUN OBASANJO as a liar and former vic present ATIKU ABUBAKAR as corrupt.

  Soyinka noted that no any country abuses technology the way Nigeria does.

  " This country, from my research is the greatest abuser of technology," he said

  The playwrite called on the intentional community to deny visas to perpetrotors of violence in Nigeria

 "I am calling on our visitors and foreigners to take action against those, who commit violence to refuse them visas and put them on watch list. Tell them to stay at homes. You most adopt policy to deny those who perpetrate violence in the name of religion, visa. It dehumanses the rest of us," he added
