“Igbo put their votes where stomachs is, suffers incurable money-mindedness” – Wole Soyinka

I doubt Prof will utter such statement. According to the Cable.ng, Professor Wole Soyinka stated on April 29, 2015 at a lecture titled ‘Predicting Nigeria Electoral Ironies’ at the Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African & African American Research, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA  that the Igbos vote with their stomachs.

 “The Igbos are probably the only group of Nigerians that you can predict with great accuracy whom they will vote for in an election, because they tend to put their votes where their stomachs take them; suffering as it were, from incurable money-mindedness, as they would stop at nothing in their quest for personal financial gain,”

On Buhari, he said

Muhammadu Buhari was the better of the two evils as the incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan had been an unmitigated disaster and failure. It was a painful decision to tell people to vote Buhari, but the country needed a new beginning. I was more against Jonathan, than I was pro-Buhari,”
