Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has described US President Donald Trump "petty-minded dictator" following the revocation of his visa.

He made this known in an interview on BBC News Pidgin on Facebook on Wednesday.

According to him, he foresaw the mass revocation of visas and green cards.

But the respected writer and author has insisted he is not shocked by Trump’s actions.

Soyinka said, “This is a petty-minded dictator, you see how he deals with his objects of hate.

“We saw that dark side of the American side. There were more killings, extrajudicial killings by the police of black people, of minorities, during that build-up, during the campaign, and on account of hate rhetoric, the hate rhetoric of this individual.

“I saw it and I said, listen very carefully — and you can go and check this –I said, ‘When that man comes to power, the first thing he will do is cancel even the green cards’.”
