[quote author=Ecstasy154 post=75291526]Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka has said that: ‘I Wole Soyinka will not be voting for either the two so called contesting parties. I find both of them worthy of absolute rejection.’

Soyinka made this known in an ongoing interactive session tagged citizen forum 2019.

He said “It is time for a totally new direction, and when an alternative emerges, we will give the candidate our backing,”

“For the avoidance of doubt, let me make my position quite clear because I don’t want any ambiguity; I Wole Soyinka will not be voting for either the two so called contesting parties. I find both of them worthy of absolute rejection,” he said.

“For a number of reasons which I will not go into here, I’m not interested in a comparative assessment. My position is simply that it is time for a totally new direction. And obviously, I’m not the only one, as I’m speaking, there is a coalition having its meeting in Lagos from which they hope to produce a consensus candidate.

“There is another group meeting in Abuja, also at the end would send us their consensus candidate. Things have been going on quietly in the background to try and change the direction of this nation in a very positive way, and to make the public understand that they do not have to be enslaved permanently to the old discredited order. It is my sole business in this election.

“I don’t believe in what is called negative vote which means, for me, throwing your vote in a waste basket, I believe instead in a creative vote, not a protest vote, not a negative vote but a creative vote. And a creative vote means that the will to at least sow a seed through your vote that will germinate eventually. The pace of germination is beyond the control of everyone, but it is never too early to make a beginning. It has happened before in other societies. When a dark horse emerges from nowhere and trumps all the political juggernauts caterpillars and so on with their performers, worthless, their capacity for violence and treachery.”

But you campaigned seriously for Buhari in 2015, and voted Buhari in 2015.

Have you seen your inability to be foresighted?


Now salute easterners who refused to vote for Buhari in 2015.

:baba don't waste your vote... Two weeks to the elections some so called Messiahs are forming coalition. Does that make sense? Either we like it or not we have to choose between INCOMPETENCY(PMB) and CORRUPTION(ATIKU)..



grin grin ATIKU .... it means 'we don die' in Yoruba

Atiku also means " we have not died" in the same Yoruba.
As pet corruption, Atiku has not been indicted, charged, over one single corruption case at home and abroad.

Buhari has integrity but lacks competency. Atiku has capacity but lacks integrity.
Unfortunately, there is no third force.

IN TIMAYA 'S VOICE " I CONCUR "

I actually concur to Professor Wole Soyinka submission.

Neither Atiku or Buhari is good for Nigeria.

NIGERIA SHOULD BE RESTRUCTURED TO A TRUE FEDERAL STATE WHERE EACH REGION MUST LEARN TO BE PRODUCTIVE.

A SITUATION WERE MOST NIGERIA STATE CAN NOT CREATE NATIONAL WEALTH BUT TO BE WAITING FOR STIPEND FROM ABUJA IS UNACCEPTABLE.

THERE IS A GROWING NEED FOR NIGERIA TO CORRECT THIS WRONG FOUNDATION THAT THE MILITARY IMPOSED IN NIGERIA IN WHICH SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENT IS NOT PREPARED TO CHANGE IT.
