Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka on Thursday vowed not to vote for the presidential candidates of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari and that of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar in the presidential election slated for next month.
Soyinka spoke at an event organised by Citizen Forum, held at the Freedom Park on Lagos Island, Lagos.
The Nobel laureate said he is out rightly rejecting the two major presidential candidates for a number of reasons.
He said it is time the nation move towards a new direction different from that of the PDP or APC.
He stated that a coalition was about to be born to produce a consensus candidate to challenge the APC and PDP.
Soyinka said he did not believe in negative votes or protest votes but creative vote that would produce result, saying that it had happened in other climes.
He asked Nigerians to come together and vote for anyone that the coalition put forward as presidential candidate in order to wrestle Nigeria from the jaws of the two big parties.
