Soyinka admitted that he had no favorite flagbearer and that he does not like any of the three popular presidential candidates.
However, he urged people to have the guts to sign their remarks with their names as a mark of originality rather than hiding their identities to give the appearance of validity to the fabrications of their dishonest minds.
He said: “Again let it be known to one and all that I did not authorize the viral post being circulated on social media. Nigerians should please disregard the post attributed to me as I never made such comments.”
