Soyinka, in a statement
said a link to a report by the Daily Post on the Uzodimma vs Ihedioha electoral
tussle had just been sent to him.
Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole
Soyinka on Tuesday disowned a report claiming that he has been engaged to serve
on a monitoring team regarding a forthcoming Supreme Court Review of the case
between Governor Hope Uzodinma and Emeka Ihedioha in Imo State.
“That report claims that I have been engaged
to serve on a monitoring team regarding a forthcoming Supreme Court Review of
that case. I know nothing of this development and I am not involved in any
aspect of the tussle.
“I know nothing of this
Third Force Democracy whatever. I have no intention of participating in any
judicial monitoring activity and demand to be kept out of any such false
attributions.
“Hopefully, some day in the
distant future, it will be possible for the nation to regain the respect of the
world in its democratic claims. That time, alas, is not immediately apparent,”
he said.
