Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has said that nobody should be crucified for leaving a political party.
However, the Nobel Laureate criticised the ulterior motives of some politicians as the basis for dumping one political party for another.
Soyinka said this on Thursday in Lagos at the presentation of his new book ‘Who Is Watching The Watchmen?’.
