Interim government supporters sought to invalidate the 2023 presidential election, according to Soyinka

On Wednesday, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka claimed that the 2023 presidential election would not go off as planned.

The people demanding an interim government, according to Soyinka, are hell-bent on nullifying the 2023 presidential election.

During an interview with Channels TV on Wednesday, the Nobel laureate made the assertion.

“I am alleging that there was a conspiracy from the very beginning, before the election, to make sure the elections did not take place or that everything would revert to what happened under Babangida,” he said, referring to the former military head of state.

“When we all suddenly realized that the results had been voided, despite being in the possession of foreign bodies (such as monitoring embassies) and having been computed, it was like waking up from a dream.

Some people were hell-bent on reliving those days, and history was on the verge of repeating itself.

For me, it shifted from a struggle between people to a contest between democracy and the so-called interim political party.

“That kind of binary makes it crystal clear to me where I should stand at the barrier.”
