Soyinka described a social media remark linking him to Tinubu’s endorsement as false.

A statement by his media office said Nigerians should disregard reports that Soyinka issued a message denigrating political parties and politicians.

“Soyinka did NOT at any time or on any occasion issue such a statement.

“It is simply the work of peddlers of fake news and falsehood, who profit from misinformation to gain political advantages,” the statement reads.
