Nobel laureate and foremost playwright, Professor Wole Soyinka will join notable Nigerians including national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu to celebrate this year’s Democracy Day

Last year, Soyinka did not participate in activities marking the June 12 celebrations.
