Debate With Chimamanda Not Datti-Ahmed – Atiku’s Camp To Soyinka by kiyosaki1(op): 1:42pm On Apr 09, 2023
A spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Daniel Bwala has reacted to the call by Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, to debate with Labour Party, LP, presidential running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed.

On March 22, in an interview, Datti said the country has no president-elect despite the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, announcing Bola Tinubu as the winner of the election.

Datti said Tinubu would be leading an unconstitutional government if sworn into office because the APC candidate “has not met requirements of the law.”

However, Bwala said Soyinka was not a politician, hence should challenge Chimamanda not Datti.

Tweeting, Bwala wrote: “Am told Prof. Soyinka asked to debate Datti. No, he should ask to debate Chimamanda Adichie.

“Datti is a politician, Soyinka is not, so it will be an unfair debate.

“But both Soyinka and Chimamanda trade on literature and grammar. #Soyinkadebatechimamanda.

“When he tries Chimamanda, he will understand the phrase ‘nobody has the monopoly of knowledge’. It will certainly be the case of David v Goliath.”

Well Said from PDP. smiley

What Soyinka did is like Ronaldo calling Novak Djukovic to a Football Contest. undecided

NO! Let Ronaldo call Ppl like Benzema, Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski or LIONEL MESSI, from his field.

Soyinka should find Someone from his Literary Field.

He wants to Bamboozle Datti with ONLY grammar, so that APC mor0ns will hail him. sad

Very Weak Man. Dat's how he called Patience Jonathan to a Debate.
Who Does that? 😏

Lol 😂.

Soyinka called for a debate in the context of Datti statement where he said if the Supreme Court give judgment different from Datti’s interpretation of the law then democracy will end.

It is not a political debate per say. Daniel Bwala no too get sense to comprehend so I can understand him. He also want to jump on the trend.

Good response from Atiku camp.
Re: Debate With Chimamanda Not Datti-Ahmed – Atiku’s Camp To Soyinka by DatNiggaDaz:
In a desperate bid to Bad mouth LP, their presidential and vice presidential candidate whose mandate was clearly stolen and to justify the brazen electoral malpractise by Apc and Inec, he forgot that he is not a politician but a literature writer. Where is the sense in debating with Datti Ahmed huh

How can someone in the " class " of Professor Wole Soyinka defend a fraud of an election by turning himself the spokesman of Inec and Apc when he is not a " politcian"

It is highly possible that since he went deaf silence through out Buhari's maladministration, I am not surprised that his colour & preference for Apc will be exposed.

He can try Prof. Udenta Udenta who has gone to Arise TV to rubbish his claim of Fascism. Thank God for this election. It made me know some people I held in high esteem are mere mortals without morality.
Re: Debate With Chimamanda Not Datti-Ahmed – Atiku’s Camp To Soyinka by SmartPolician:
The most irritating thing I have heard Soyinka say in recent times was that a candidate from the South East should have been president.

People like Pa Ayo Adebanjo openly campaigned for Peter Obi because he believes in equity, fairness and justice but Soyinka kept quiet during the campaigns only to come later and start blabbing that an Easterner should have been president.

That man should just respect his age and stop talking nonsense.

Re: Debate With Chimamanda Not Datti-Ahmed – Atiku’s Camp To Soyinka by ShaqFu:
Nonsense. People like this Daniel Bwala should eat dust. Was it Chimamanda who said that Asiwaju shouldn't be sworn in? Was it Chimamanda who said Asiwaju will be running an unconstitutional government when Asiwaju is sworn in as president of Nigeria?

Asking Prof to debate with Adichie is a very foolish thing to say. Beside, I'm even pretty sure Prof Soyinka will outclass Adichie if she ever decide to debate the great Prof because, what does Adichie even know about Nigeria and Nigerian politics compare to Wole Soyinka.
