Prof. Wole Soyinka To Hold Funeral To Commemorate Trump’s Victory And The Death Of Common Sense
Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Monday, vowed to hold a private funeral on January 20, 2017, the day the United States President-elect, Donald Trump, will be sworn in, threatening to also move his foundation out of the country in protest against unwarranted commentaries generated by the Green card issue.
He had, last week, in Johannesburg, South Africa, told the world that he had destroyed his Green Card to protest the election of Donald Trump in the last U.S presidential election.
A visibly angry Soyinka, who spoke in Lagos about the controversy that arose over his threat to destroy his American Green Card, following the election of Mr. Trump, said the private wake will have nothing to do with U.S. politics but the death of common sense among Nigerians.
“I’m going to hold a private wake on inauguration day not to mourn the decision of Americans in the choice of President but to mourn the death of Nigeria common sense,” he said.
