WOLE SOYINKA HAS 60 REASONS NOT TO VOTE FOR JONATHAN! |
Prof. Wole Soyinka while speaking yesterday during the presentation of
60 finalist of the vision of the Child Competition entitled: Road to
Sambisa at the Freedom Park, Lagos, said he has 60 reasons why he would
not vote for Jonathan. He said this to dispel some insinuations that he
has endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election.
Addressing the students from various schools across the country, he said:
‘’It is impossible to talk of today’s election without thinking of
what happened to your colleagues, your siblings, your peers in the
village called Chibok. It is not possible to think of the future of this
nation in the sense of responsibility without that albatross called
Chibok. Coming to the fore of our contemplation, I think that why I was
being killed on the internet is probably because of this very event
because those who began to advertise my death on the internet probably
know already what I stand for over the election which is also why all
kinds of statements have been made.’’
‘’I have never spoken a word about this election so anything which you read on the internet as interviews or recent statements is not mine. Don’t believe it. The reason is this, they advertised on the internet that I am dead, so why should you believe it?’’
: ‘’I have at least 60 reasons for not voting for the continuation of this present government and those reasons are here.
"Why I will not vote for this government or encourage anybody to vote for the continuation of this present government is simply because your colleagues, numbering over 200 were kidnapped; we sent them on a mission – education, enlightenment, examination, to rub minds with their peers and they disappeared and the government of the nation failed to show leadership. So, anybody who says that I will vote or cast my vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime must be living in Sambisa forest.
‘’There has been failure of leadership. Our children who you represent today have been betrayed. They were betrayed because no action or appropriate action was taken to retrieve your colleagues who were stolen from under our noses, 10 days before this government even accepted that they were missing.”
