I will cut my green card if Trump becomes America's president - Soyinka

Wole Soyinka, has vowed to cut his United States green card and pack out of 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.

Mr. Soyinka said this at a gathering in Oxford University.

Mr. Trump, a businessman, is challenging a former U.S. Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, in the election that comes up next Tuesday.

Mr. Trump has been known for his blunt take on issues, and he’d repeatedly stated his intention to erect a wall around the U.S.-Mexico border to fend off illegal immigration into his country.

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.
