Recall that the Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka had challenged Baba-Ahmed to an interview on Channels Television over the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
But reacting in an interview with Arise TV on Saturday, the Spokesperson of the Obi-Datti Movement, Prof Chris Nwakobia, stated that Peter Obi supporters, known as the Obidients, will be able to debate Soyinka.
Daring Soyinka to attend the TV debate, Nwakobia said Baba-Ahmed would take up a debate with Soyinka.
