“We believe that to close the circle of negativity that we have embarked on before and during the civil war, I believe, the presidency, as soon as possible, should go towards the eastern region which lost a war.
“This is one of the ways to heal the wounds of the nation – that is a principle and philosophy.”
According to the dramatist, none of the top presidential candidates in the recently finished polls presented a credible restructuring strategy, so he did not endorse anyone.
Soyinka said: “In fact, one of the reasons I refused to endorse any candidate is because none of the candidates addressed the things closest to my heart, like again, reconstructing the nation.
