I Accept Your Debate Challenge As Long As You Bring Tinubu—Datti Replies Soyinka by Nonny95(op):
Datti Baba-Ahmed through one of the spokespersons of the LP has just said that he is "more than willing" to accept Wole Soyinka's invitation for a televised debate, on the condition that he (Soyinka) brings along with him Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the studio.


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.

Datti’s commissioned a coffin for our dying democracy.
The invisible man don’t give a damn.
The prophets are given a drum of war
Rufai to keep the grievance alive, pricks the wound.
Adichie to keep the heat alive, flame the embers.
Set Kongi’s reputation ablaze, and make Baba Iyabo’s burn aglow.
As the mob is set against the other,
the puppeteers , enjoy their Passover.

OTHERWISE SOYINKA WOULD END UP AS A PROPHET WHO BECAME VICTIM OF HIS OWN PROPHECIES

Soyinka always goofing . Nobody in academia understands the criteria for giving him Nobel prize in 1986 based on his works in drama and poems..and to compound matters he went and collected FRSC Contracts from IBB regime then which shut his mouth from criticizing human rights violations in his own country...smh
