Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has called all those who said that he has endorsed the presidential ambition of a former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, “illiterate interlopers.”
Soyinka reacting to the reports said that those who pass such information ‘around do themselves and their recipients a disservice.
He went on call them to find something worthwhile to occupy your time.
He said: “Here we go again. The same boring illiterate public interlopers who lack the courage of their conviction and must steal the identities of their betters.
“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 of 2023 much less inserted candidates into coveted positions. The signature of this latest moron is familiar – he or she does not even know the difference between ‘Laureate and Laurel,”
“Those who pass it round do themselves and their recipients a disservice. Find something worthwhile to occupy your time.
“In any case, we have no business with politics in the land of the dead and the most recent information I have on me is that I died some time last year.
“The email account of the year’s Nobel ‘Laurel’ was hacked by these same agents to publicise my demise, so who is this still politicking WS ‘Laurel?,” he asked.
