Soyinka's Official Endorsement Statement For President Goodluck Jonathan by Ikengawo: 8:19am On Jan 04, 2015


Prof. Wole Soyinka Endorses Goodluck Jonathan
These are his words:


"There is something significant about Mr. President.
He is the first president without any ties to the military mafia. All his children are in schools here in Nigeria. You cannot come across a skyscraper in any corner of Nigeria and people will tell you it belongs to him; even a seven storey building.
I strongly believe that GEJ is a phenomenal change from before and if we cannot find a better, young alternative, then we must remain with him until we can groom someone better.
This is no time to go back to the military mafia and go back to our vomit"

Prof. Wole Soyinka.

Oh please, there is no way CB would ever leap to the side of GEJ. This right here is a grotesque lie fabricated by a r*tard or group of retards. Look at the source you provided, what the hell is point blank news?, you guys are really desperate and some gullible people will fall for this story and start saying nonsense about WS

We the people have made our choice already and the great general is our choice, nobody even the great CB (WS) can convince us to do otherwise.

GEJ has been given a chance and he has failed us, now we are going to give someone else a chance come Feb 14 and if this person fails us too, we will do the needful.

OP, be guided.

SAI BUHARI
Vote Buhari/Osibanjo for President and Vice.

At least all those fools that do open their smelly mouths anytime WS doesn't support GEJ on some of his actions will now know it's not based on hatred.
If you do what is good, he'll praise you. If you do otherwise, he frowns at you. That's one thing I know about this WS of a man.

His feeling about GEJ this time around isn't binding on me. We need a change, only a fool keeps doing the same thing same way repeatedly. If GMB isn't better, then we'll change him too by 2019

False reportage:

Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Thursday dismissed claims that he had endorsed some politicians as his presidential and governorship candidates ahead of the February elections.

Soyinka, in a piece titled, ‘Identity Thieves and the 2015 Election Peace Accord,’ warned those spreading the rumour of his purported endorsement of candidates “to be less gullible, and avoid becoming cheap conduits for the deception industry.”

He said, “Let me thus seize the occasion of the Abuja accord to state categorically that I have never made a statement endorsing any presidential or governorship contestant. All such attributions are fabrications by faceless, often self-appointed agents of deception, and should be publicly pilloried.

“Whenever I choose to declare support for a candidate – as is my electoral right – I shall ensure that I deploy a medium that places my authorship beyond dispute.”

Reacting to the peace pact signed by President Goodluck Jonathan and Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on Wednesday to ensure violence-free polls, Soyinka said he was impressed with the outcome of the meeting.

He described the pact as a “positive step in the direction of democracy.”

He commended the efforts of a former Secretary-General of the United Nation, Kofi Annan, and a former Secretary-General of Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, in ensuring the success of the accord.

The Nobel Laureate said if the peace pact was adhered to with sincerity, it would ensure a wholesome space for future elections and avert further violence.

“It might even come close to what the democratic ideal should be, as canvassed by others, including Governor Babatunde Fashola a few years ago,” Soyinka added.

He, however, said he was disappointed that the communiqué issued after the peace meeting made no reference to the victims of political violence.

He said, “From personal interest, however, I was disappointed that the communiqué makes no reference to the violence done to members of the electorate whose identities are stolen, abused and debased during this exercise.

“It is rapidly becoming commonplace to encounter totally fictitious statements, even entire interviews published and attributed to unsuspecting authorship. This criminal proceeding has even involved the cloning of media mastheads to which non-existent interviews are then attached. To render it in local parlance, this is political 419, and of the most despicable brand.

“While it would be unjust to place direct responsibility on the contestants, one must stress that they also have a moral responsibility to denounce these dirty tricksters in the strongest terms, even in their own interest.

“The resentment inspired in victims of such cowardly conduct cannot but impact on their own political image. The media must also protect itself by taking necessary measures against such unprincipled confusionists. It is the democratic right of every citizen to know exactly who is saying what on issues that affect their political choices.

“I take a less serious – indeed, near carnivalesque view of the opportunistic and sometimes de-contextualised use of genuine quotes from statements I have made in the past – that is a different matter entirely. As a non-pensioned writer, however, and thus dependent on the proceeds of intellectual property, such users should expect to hear from my literary agents.

“I join General Abdulsalami and others in hoping that 2015 prove a live-and-learn election year, not a do-or-die!”
