Speaking in response to Soyinka’s criticism of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Baba-Ahmed highlighted the need for mutual respect in public discourse.
Soyinka had questioned Obi’s suitability for leadership, citing concerns over his failure to control online supporters attacking dissenting voices.
However, Baba-Ahmed dismissed Soyinka’s comments as a distraction, choosing not to engage in a verbal duel. He asserted that while he could retaliate with damaging remarks against Soyinka, he refrained from doing so out of respect.
He emphasized that intellect should not be used as a license to demean others, citing Soyinka’s past criticisms of late General Abacha as an example. Baba-Ahmed stressed that everyone, regardless of their background or profession, deserves dignity and respect.
In urging for a shift away from personal attacks, Baba-Ahmed emphasized the importance of addressing substantive issues facing the nation, rather than engaging in divisive rhetoric.
As the discourse unfolds, Baba-Ahmed’s stance underscores the importance of civility and mutual respect in public dialogue, even amidst differing opinions and political tensions.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has denied claims that he ordered the revocation of the licence of Rainbow Event Centre, which hosted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention on February 14, 2026.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Wike said the party should stop blaming him for its internal issues, insisting that the ADC is already heading towards political failure on its own.
The ADC had alleged that FCT authorities denied it access to venues for its convention and attempted to stop the use of the Rainbow Event Centre before the event eventually held there.
Reacting, Wike said investigations have already been launched into the matter and directed his Chief of Staff to identify any staff member involved in the alleged interference.
He stated: “We will not allow people to just wake up and say the FCT Minister did this or that. I have told my Chief of Staff to find out from the company which staff member interfered. We will get to the bottom of this.”
Meanwhile, Wike also commented on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s political ambitions, saying he would have to wait until 2031 to contest for the presidency.
He said there is “no space” for Atiku in 2027, adding that he could try again in 2031 when he would be 82 years old.
Wike made the remarks during an inspection of ongoing road projects in Kuje Area Council on Thursday, while also criticising Atiku’s repeated attacks on the current administration and insisting that President Bola Tinubu has performed better than previous leadership.

She noted that she now prefers a simple and peaceful relationship, adding that she is no longer interested in complicated lifestyles or public attention.
She said: “I’ve dated all kinds of men, but now all I want is a simple 9–5 man with no social media. I once dated a bus driver I met on a dating app that I paid £400 to join.”
