Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka has revealed his plans for the forthcoming 2023 general elections
The playwright hinted he would likely take a French leave off the elections and just watch proceedings.
As the 2023 elections draw near, Soyinka said he might be a spectator, describing the country’s political scene as “turbid”.
“So, very likely, all I would do is take French leave from the elections and just watch the results,” he said.
Prof. Soyinka made this revelation at a press conference held in Lagos on Thursday, reprimanding the ruling APC and the major opposition party PDP .He added that their members cross-carpet at the slightest provocation and opportunity.
Soyinka slammed the most popular parties for the gale of defections, saying that it was now difficult to distinguish between both political parties.
“Look at the two major parties, there has been such cross over from one rivulet to another, each crossing having its own purpose, that it is getting difficult to even distinguish between the two major parties,” Soyinka added.
