Prof. Wole Soyinka on Thursday disclosed that he will not be voting for President Goodluck Jonathan come February 14; SAHARA REPORTERS.
Soyinka made the disclosure at the 2015 edition of Vision of the Child (VOTC), a yearly programme inaugurated in 2012. Addressing students he said, ''I will not vote and I will not encourage anyone to vote for the continuation of this government, simply because your colleagues numbering over two hundred were kidnapped''.
''And the government of this nation failed to show leadership. So anyone who says after that event that I will vote or cast my vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime must be living in Sambisa forest,” Soyinka said, referring to a forest in Borno State where the Chibok girls are believed to be held by Boko Haram.
''There has been a failure of leadership. Our children whom you represent today have been betrayed,” Soyinka said,.
''After that dereliction of duty, after that failure of leadership, after that betrayal for our future, for anyone to think or to put words in my mouth suggesting that I will vote or encourage anyone to vote for this regime is a travesty of intelligence''.
