Soyinka Denounces Fake WhatsApp Post On Yoruba State Agitation

Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has vehemently denied a post on WhatsApp that ascribed a viral statement on the roiling agitation for Yoruba State to him.

In a statement, his media adviser and renowned Culture Curator, Mr. Jahman Oladejo Anikulapo, said Soyinka “does not participate in Facebook, Tweet, Blog, WhatsApp or other offerings of the Social Media. Any views that he wishes to express on national and other issues routinely go through the print media.”

The literary giant, therefore, requested the public to ignore what he described as “the utterances of those contemptible interlopers who lack the courage of their conviction and thus take to Identity Theft for the furtherance of their views.”

Below is the full text of Soyinka’s rebuttal:

 

THEY ARE BACK!

“Professor Wole SOYINKA wishes to denounce the fake WhatsApp posting on the Yoruba state agitation being attributed to him.  Once again, he requests the public to ignore the utterances of those contemptible interlopers who lack the courage of their conviction and thus take to Identity Theft for the furtherance of their views. For a start, Wole Soyinka does not participate in Facebook, Tweet, Blog, WhatsApp or other offerings of the Social Media. Any views that he wishes to express on national and other issues routinely go through the print media”
