Baba-Ahmed Tells Soyinka, Your Intellect Gives You No Right To Insult Anybody, Threatens To Spill The Beans On Him

Former Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in last year’s election, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has told Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka that his intellect does not give him any right to insult anybody.

Baba-Ahmed, who spoke in an interview with Arise Television, was replying Soyinka following his running campaign that Peter Obi (LP)’s Presidential candidate, was unfit to lead Nigeria.

Soyinka had said that Obi’s failure to reign on his supporters attacking others with opposing views online was a pointer that he is unfit to lead a country like Nigeria. The Nobel Laureate, in the same vein, accused Obi of encouraging ‘Obidients’ to attack him and others.

But Baba-Ahmed said what Soyinka was doing was an attempted distraction, adding that he would not join issues with him.

Stating that he could say a few things to Soyinka that could destroy Soyinka for good but would not, Baba-Ahmed said: “You see, intellect doesn’t give you the right to insult anybody. I remember this Soyinka insulting late General Abacha, insulting him to the core that he was daft.

“Nothing gives him the right to do that. Abacha was not an academic. He was a soldier for God’s sake. And a good soldier in his own way in his own right.

“I beg you, let’s push Soyinka and his likes aside. We have better things to talk about. Nobel Laureates are loved and cherished by their people. Soyinka keeps getting insulted, and it is his responsibility to maintain his dignity and respect, not Peter Obi’s.

“I could say a few things to Wole Soyinka that could destroy him for good, but I wouldn’t say that.”
