DATTI BABA-AHMED WILL NOT DEBATE PROF. SOYINKA.

Like many Nigerians we are bewildered by the late hour intervention of our respected Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka in issues around the flawed 2023 elections. Where was he all this while?
One of those who should ordinarily and
rightfully be honoured as the conscience of the nation, Prof. Soyinka is now criminalising dissent and infact weighing in on the side of fraud and injustice!
We state therefore that the vice-presidential candidate of Labour Party, Dr. Yusuf 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.

Personally, that's a great decision.
We can't be expending our energy and focus on elements that have proven to be mischievous in their dealing , especially when the interest of the masses is at stake.

The judiciary remains our focus, professor Wole Soyinka and his cohorts should go and sit down !

In fact, if there are Nigerians that can be exonerated they are the people of the Southeast and South-south; but the North and the Southwest are responsible for our problems today under this regime. I said it right from the beginning that Buhari is not competent and therefore cannot lead.Β 

Now, we are crying. It was our shortsightedness. People did not behave the way they are supposed to behaved when Buhari was looking for power.

In other words, the North and Southwest foisted on Nigerians the problems they are going through now?

Yes, they did. Look at the votes. It is not hearsay. It is a factual thing. Look at the votes.

Peter Obi served under Buhari as Chairman of Security and Exchange Commission, collected all his salaries and allowances but when you ask him about his achievement while in SEC, his supporters will say "if dem born you well come to the SE". They're scared of their TRACK RECORDS.

Datti Baba Ahmed is as squeaky clean and classy as Peter Obi.
They are our dream of what Nigerian leaders should be.
Datti just IGNORED Soyinka because Datti is classier.
Passing six is not passing sense.

I don't know why one of the world's greatest Nobel Lauret will offer to debate some crying crying baby voices.

Prof is very humble sha.

See his Nobel prize citation:

Winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature
Soyinka is the first Black person to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (1986). The motivation for the Prize was, β€œβ€¦ who in a wide cultural perspective and with poetic overtones fashions the drama of existence.”

No other person has been so described apart from Williams Shakespare.

And one old grand pa abi boy is comparing him to a storyteller.

Soyinka has been an international political Activist for nearly 6 decades to understand that Datti has been attacking him through proxy for the comments he made to caution him.

So he is asking Datti to come out and dispute what he said with facts rather than use uncultured proxies to fight his battles.

Raccoon the unapologetic bigot who somehow claims to be a politicial activist.

Soyinka canvassed against Obasanjo ( a Yoruba man, against Jonathan (an ijaw man and against Buhari a Fulani man for nearly four decades.

He has been on forefront of several social challenges that the Nigerian state has faced since 1960, including the Biafran war.

So I am he became a tribal champion simply because he spoke against Obidients and Datti.

Meanwhile, the Obidients is not a tribal movement as we were led to believe.
