Datti Baba-Ahmed to Soyinka: Obi can't control 'Obidients' -- respect yourself first

Datti Baba-Ahmed, vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has taken umbrage at the remarks of Wole Soyinka, the Nobel laureate.

Soyinka had accused Obi of encouraging the online vitriol often lobbed by his supporters — who are called ‘Obidients’.In an interview on Arise Television, Baba-Ahmed said the Nobel laureate should rather respect himself instead of waiting for Obi to control the actions of his supporters. “The learned elder statesman is scared in advance about what good Peter Obi would bring to Nigeria. He’s scared that the end is looking very likely for his principal, for bad governance,” Baba-Ahmed said.“Nobel laureates all over the world are loved and cherished by their people, not just their nationals but globally. I have never heard where Nobel laureates are insulted in the way that Wole Soyinka is.
