I Won't Debate Soyinka: He Was Not On The Ballot, His Candidate Also Resisted Debates All Through The Campaign

Datti Baba-Ahmed cannot take up Prof. Soyinka's offer of a public debate, not out of cowardice, but for cultural and political reasons.

Culturally it's just not decent, their age and accomplishment gaps taken into account, for Datti to sit opposite the 88 year-old global icon and point out his folly to his face, even if the old man called for it.

And politically there is no basis for such a challenge in that Prof. is not on any of the opposite ballots. If however he can use his influence to drag his preferred candidates, who resisted debates throughout the campaign, to the studio this second, Datti says he is more than willing to take them on.

What a kind and brilliant responds.

Will Datti Baba-Ahmed debate with professor Soyinka change the price of petrol in Nigeria

Soyinka shouldn't have make such comments about debate with Dattii...

Datti should be in school. writing WaEc when Wole Soyinka bagged different internationally recognized certificates.....thank God for Obi Peter for helping Datti
...who knew Datti before this election incidence....he is classified as common Nigeria...as see compare to. wole Soyinska that was Federal. commissioner heads of FRSC and so many political appointment....in the past.....


Hear this....aside some people in Africa were nominated for Nobel Prize for peace...Soyinka is still the only African man that bagged Nobel Laurette..... from 1986 till fate.....( 37 years ago) and still standing.....globally recognized.....

See the nonsense the person directly above me spewing... Like say Datti and Soyinka na age mate before.

For Datti to sit opposite the 88 year-old global icon and point out his folly to his face, even if the old man called for it is against culture.

Let the Emilokan crooner come for debate himself, but for an 88 year-old man wey nor respect im age calling for debate with e don age? Na Wetin dem go call am? The baba really overreach himself sha.
