Professor Wole Soyinka has fired back at a statement accredited to him ,
in which he said Igbos vote with their stomachs and suffer from
incurable money-mindedness..In a statement released, he said
"I have just read a statement attributed to me on something called The
Cable, a news outlet, evidently one of the Internet infestations. My
lecture at the Hutchins Centre, Harvard University, was video recorded.
Anyone who believes what I am alleged to have said must be a moron –
repeat, a moron. It is demeaning, sickening and boring to have to deal
with these cowards who cannot fight their own battles but must fasten
their imbecilic pronouncements on others. Only the mentally retarded
will credit this comment attributed to me regarding the Ndigbo voting
pattern in the last elections. I strongly suspect the author of this
despicable concoction, and may make a further statement, once the source
is verified.”
