Wole Soyinka: How the United States revoked my visa

The United States government has revoked the non-immigrant visa of Wole Soyinka, the Nobel laureate. In a letter dated October 23 and signed by the US consulate-general in Lagos, Soyinka was directed to present his passport at the consulate for physical cancellation of the visa. Soyinka spoke during a media parley held in Lagos on Tuesday, where he read excerpts from the official correspondence sent to him. Soyinka made reference to how he discarded his US green card after President Donald Trump assumed office in his first term. The Nobel laureate said he wondered whether his visa was revoked because he described Trump as “Idi Amin in white face”. “It is necessary for me to give this press conference so that people in the United States who are expecting me for their event, not to waste their time. I have no desire,” he said. #wolesoyinka #thecable #usvisa Follow us on Social Media: ▶ Website: https://www.thecable.ng/ ▶ Instagram:   / thecableng   ▶ Facebook:   / thecableng   ▶ Twitter: https://x.com/thecableng ▶ Email: [email protected]
