Wole Soyinka Ndi-Igbo Fabrication. TheCable apologises to Soyinka over ‘Igbo’ story

The management of Cable Newspaper Ltd, publishers of TheCable, would like to make the following statement concerning our report on the lecture by Professor Wole Soyinka at the Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African & African American Research.

Soyinka was quoted to have made derogatory remarks about the Igbo over their voting pattern in the March 28 presidential election. He has since denied the offensive quotes attributed to him.

After a thorough in-house investigation, we have come to the conclusion that the story misrepresented the views expressed by Soyinka in the question-and-answer session after his lecture.

We take full responsibility for the inaccuracy and promise that we will continue to strive to improve our standards.

Also, we wish to reiterate that we take our professional responsibilities very seriously, as our readers can attest to.

We hereby offer an unreserved apology to Soyinka, Ndigbo and our readers.

Signed: Management of Cable Newspaper Ltd

[size=18pt]Yeye people.I knew it would be another faceless yoruba reporter lying with Soyinka's name. They are bent on fomenting civil war in Nigeria!
When that war is provoked, i hope una will be ready to fight it. Ask Boko Haram, it is not those that declare a war first or pledge to make Nigeria ungovernable that win it.[/size]
