According to PREMIUM TIMES, Soyinka made the disclosure during at a
press conference at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Soyinka said he was diagnosed with cancer last December.
He said, "For me, this is not a decision which I like but I felt I have
all obligation, being a member of African Cancer Centre, and also having
even donated a performance during the festival, fund raising for
cancer, I am under obligation to make it known and to also demystify
cancer.
"Many people feel it is a death sentence. Family feel it; friends,
colleagues, they begin to look at you as if you are a ghost once there
is rumour you have cancer. No, cancer is not a death sentence, it is
curable, I have undergone the treatment and I am able to tell you that I
even have a model, that’s my certificate.
