Some
Nigerians on Sunday asked the wife of the President, Patience
Jonathan, to make herself available for a debate with Nobel Laureate,
Prof. Wole Soyinka.
The
call came on the heels of the diatribe the First Lady launched
against Soyinka in which she described the renowned playwright as an
“embarrassment’’ for attributing the crisis rocking Rivers
State to her and her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan.
But
some Nigerians, who took to Twitter and other social networks to
voice their concern over the development, called on a
Lagos-based private broadcaster, Channels Television, to organise a
debate for the two.
According
to them, the TV station’s Sunrise Daily, a news and
current affairs programme that features prominent Nigerians, who are
experts in their areas of specialisation, will provide a level
playing ground for the duo to thrash out the knotty issues they were
arguing on.

Between Soyinka and Who? Even President Jonathan with his P.hd can't match Soyinka, talk less of Mrs. Abeg!
