Professor Wole Soyinka, a Nobel laureate, has denied a social media post that claimed he had endorsed Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

The senior statesman allegedly used unkind words to characterize ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo<\/a> and presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party in the social media post.<\/p>\n

The statement read, \u201cQuote me anywhere, Nigerians don\u2019t need the likes of Atiku and Obasanjo to lead them again. We have tested the two: Atiku is corrupt and Obasanjo is a liar. Both of them are greedy and self-centered\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody, any cabal, any Viju milk activist, attempting to humiliate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu must have me to contend with. An average PDP man is angry with Asiwaju because he brought them to their knees. If anyone thinks that bringing down Asiwaju is his project, that mission will not only crash but it will boomerang. He owns Lagos! I hear you! Ask your grandfather and parents how they acquired your so-called family land. Is it God that allocated it to them?\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to the post, the playwright in an email to our correspondent on Sunday said, \u201cProfessor Soyinka did NOT at any time or on any occasion issue such a statement. It is simply the works of peddlers of fake news and falsehood, who profit from Misinformation to gain political advantages. The media and members of the public are advised to ignore the message or any other political message that addresses or targets any political party or political actor.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The author has distanced himself from altered films and words that have previously been attributed to him.<\/p>\n

Soyinka<\/a> stated that one can continue to monitor and respond to the creations of the junkies of lie and their assiduous advocates who had not yet learned to wash the filth off their tablets in one of his comments to the phony posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
