Wole Soyinka, the Nobel laureate from Nigeria said that he will cut his United States green card and leave the country if Republican Party candidate, Donald Trump, wins the American presidential election next week.
“The moment they announce his [Trump’s] victory, I will cut my green card myself and start packing up,” Mr. Soyinka said.
The British Broadcasting Corporation reported on Thursday that Mr. Soyinka spoke at a gathering in Oxford University.
Mr. Soyinka said he knew Mr. Trump would waste little time in sending Mexicans and people of color out of America once he emerges as the President.
The professor said he would not wait for Mr. Trump to make the pronouncement before shredding his green card.
“Well, I’m not waiting for that,” Mr. Soyinka said.
