Many of you enlightened admirers of the literary canon are familiar with Wole Soyinka's activism and even books like "The Man Died (1972)" which he wrote in prison during the Biafra War.
However, it is unlikely that anyone thought of Soyinka as a politician. According to BBC, Soyinka was elected Chairman of the Democratic Front for a People's Federation. Soyinka launching this political party just a stone's throw before the Nigerian Presidential election is making waves. I mean really, we all know he's not going to run, but....Who is? hmmmm It looks like campaign season is just beginning.
