Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party Vice Presidential candidate has reacted following a challenge by the Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, to a one-on-one debate.
Meanwhile, KOKO TV reported on Friday that Soyinka, in a statement released, titled “FASCISM ON COURSE” had rebutted the OBIdients over cyber attack on his personality and challenged Peter Obi’s running-mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, to a live debate over the latter’s view against the swearing-in of the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, by May 29.

According to him, Soyinka was not on any opposition ballot during the election. He, however, added that he would be more than willing to debate if the Nobel prize winner can use his influence to lure the President-elect and candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, into the studio.
