Nobel winner forms Nigeria party

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka launched a political party Sept. 25 in Nigeria, using the power of rhetoric to challenge apathetic voters in the oil-rich nation to overcome a government he called cynical and brutal. Members of the Democratic Front for a People's Federation elected Soyinka as its leader during the party's inaugural meeting. The 76-year-old essayist, easily recognizable by a shock of white hair, later told reporters he will not run as a candidate in the nation's 2011 presidential election. Instead, Soyinka promised the party would use the power of persuasion and words to affect the outcome of the election. (AP)
